«Our Hidden Lives» is a social history book by Simon Garfield, published by Ebury Press in hardback (544 pages, in English).
The volume draws on the Mass Observation Project, an archive started in 1936 in which anonymous citizens recorded their daily lives in diaries. Simon Garfield selects and weaves together these testimonies to reconstruct ordinary life in post-war Britain between 1945 and 1948.
The original Mass Observation Project diaries are held at the University of Sussex.
Recommended for students and readers interested in British social history, the Second World War, and everyday life in the post-war period.
