This article focuses on the book "Testament of Friendship: The Story of Winifred Holtby," by Vera Brittain. In her "Testament of Friendship," a chronicle of the life of author Winifred Holtby, Brittain has succeeded in embalming her friend, sealing her up in air-tight devotion. The events of Holtby's life are recorded with scrupulous fidelity, but a protective anxiety has taken a strangle-hold of Brittain, and only rarely does her subject slip through the network of excellent prose and emerge as a fallible human being.
