The Road Ahead

Following her wartime memoirs in "The Past is Myself", Christabel Bielenberg continues her story from the end of the war. Germany was devastated by war and its aftermath, while to the author Britain seemed grey and exhausted. She was soon appointed "The Observer"'s special correspondent in Germany and, reunited with her husband - technically an enemy alien - she joined the struggle for reconciliation with, and the rebuilding of, a defeated nation. A near-fatal accident to her husband, and her own illness, persuaded the young couple to turn their backs on England and Germany, and make a new start farming in Ireland. Although life was harsh at first, the beautiful scenery of the Wicklow Mountains provided a haven for the family and for the hosts of young people from all over the world who joined them each summer. Christabel became involved with the Peace Women of Northern Ireland, and learned as much as she could about her adopted country.

Christabel Bielenberg, a niece of Lord Northcliffe, married a German lawyer in 1934. She lived through the war as a German citizen, experiencing the horrors of Nazi rule and Allied bombings, and these experiences were related in her memoir, "The Past Is Myself", which was adapted for television by Denis Potter under the title "Christobel". Her story continues in this sequel. When the war ended, Chistobel worked for "The Observer" as a special correspondent in Germany. Then her husband's near-fatal accident and her own illness persuaded them to turn their backs on England and Germany, and to take up farming in Ireland, where she found humour in the accidents of poverty and the mishaps of country life. The beautiful scenery of Wicklow provided a haven for the young family and for the many of young people who joined them each summer, and Christobel became involved with the Peace Women.
