"The Time of My Life begins where the best-selling Darling Ma (seven weeks in the Sunday Times charts) left off.  But instead of viewing the life of Joyce Grenfell through the letters she wrote to her mother in America.... The Time of My Life is essentially a journal, which she kept in the final eighteen months of the Second World War - against the rules - while travelling thousands of miles on behalf of ENSA, officially the Entertainments National Service Association, but also known endearingly, if sometimes accurately, as 'Every Night Something Awful'."
