In that letter, her mother reveals some details of her survivor of the Holocaust and leaves three wishes for Chava to fulfill.

It came as a surprise to her that her long-time agent wanted something new from her, something that she was neither interested in nor wanted to write about—vampires.

Not So Quiet...
Praised by the Chicago Sun-Times for its “furious, indignant power,” this story offers a rare, funny, bitter, and feminist look at war. First published in London in 1930, Not So Quiet... (on the Western Front) describes a group of British women ambulance drivers on the French front lines during World War I, surviving shell fire, cold, and their punishing commandant, "Mrs. Bitch." The novel takes the guise of an autobiography by Smith, pseudonym for Evadne Price. The novel's power comes from Smith's outrage at the senselessness of war, at her country's complacent patriotism, and her own daily contact with the suffering and the wounded.
