5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent essays on life in pre-World War II London
Reviewed in the United States on March 6, 2003
Verified Purchase
I was raised working class with immigrant parents and don't normally like characters like Mrs. Miniver, an upper middle class British housewife with a country home and servants. Yet I was enchanted by these 37 essays that originally appeared in the London Times between 1937 and 1939.
We don't even learn the first name of the lead character until the very end of the book. She is always Mrs. Miniver, and her husband is always Clem. The Minivers are close, but they don't ever act intimate.
Even though the essays are in the third person (except for the letter at the end where we learn her first name), this is one of the most intimate looks into a woman's mind I have ever read. The author's love of language and the details of daily life are revealed through the thoughts of this delightful character.
The essays were published in the Times every two weeks for the two years leading up to the British entry into World War II. Although the preparations for war are discussed in later essays, they mostly deal with the everyday lives of this typical middle class family. The essays became a symbol of the essence of British life and were published in book form as the war began. The US edition includes an additional essay where Mrs. Miniver prepares her first Christmas shopping list of the war.
The American cinema made an Oscar-winning movie with the same title starring Greer Garson, but the plot of the movie has nothing to do with the subject of these brief disconnected short stories. This is a wonderful book that I will cherish for a long time. Highly recommended.

I just started reading the book yesterday. I loved the movie but the book is disappointing in the way it is written.

5.0 out of 5 stars A literary gem to be rediscovered
Reviewed in the United States on September 27, 2017
Verified Purchase
Although classic movie fans like me respect the wartime film, loosely based on the book, Jan Struther’s literary work far surpasses it. Written as a series of entertaining yet thought-provoking vignettes on a variety of subjects, Mrs. Miniver follows the life of a strangely gifted woman blessed with a keen talent for observation who can make the ordinary extraordinary. She is a genius hidden in the pre-war English countryside, waiting to be re-introduced to today’s readers, particularly those seeking quiet heroes of great strength, intelligence and sensitivity. We need them today more than ever before… Mrs. Miniver is one of the most brilliant books I’ve ever read; my only complaint is that the text is filled with English terms that are unfamiliar to today’s readers like me. But stick with it, my friends, because Mrs. Miniver is a literary gem to be rediscovered and rightfully placed on a shelf among other great fictional and non-fictional works of our time.

1.0 out of 5 stars Totally illegible
Reviewed in the United States on July 29, 2017

I don't expect much for $2.99, but Mrs Miniver was truly shocking. My previous order, the Prisoner of Zenda, lacked any quotation marks. I was able to make my way through it after some mental gymnastics, but still...
I'd ask for my money back on Mrs M, but don't know how to go about doing that.

I thought the movie would have reflected the book a bit more but it is not at all like this book. It is still interesting reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars Much More Different than the Film
Reviewed in the United States on April 6, 2016

The book is much different than the film..much more of an internal dialogue with beautifully descriptive narrative. It is essentially a diary describing the beautiful world of pre-war England before the Nazis attacked.

3.0 out of 5 stars Poorly transcribed book.
Reviewed in the United States on June 17, 2017
Verified Purchase
The Kindle book format was very jumbled. Very poorly transcribed. Various sizes of type randomly used. Words all strung together with no breaks. The photos or illustrations dark and almost indecipherable. What I could make out of the writing was charming, but it was too much trouble to read. I am ordering the paper version to see if it is any more readable.
