Michael Harris used her as a prime example of his case in Solitude: A Singular Life in a Crowded World He wrote earlier this year in Discover Magazine http://discovermagazine.com/2017/june/let-your-mind-wander
I have a friend who's a rellie of Edith Bone and as a consequence discovered her story which is truly astonishing, every bit of it that we know and no doubt the parts that will continue to unfold as classified documents from MI5 and Soviet counterparts are made more available.
But for now, looking at only her period of isolated imprisonment, I offer this from wiki. She was sixty-one and arthritic at the time.
I'm sure it's true that the Hungarians intended her to die as a result of her privations. Apparently they couldn't actually kill her directly as it was known she had disappeared, though the British did precious little to get her out. Why doesn't that surprise me.
There will be more of her incredible life to come. I will end by noting that Aung San Suu Kyi gained her inspiration to survive from reading her book as a teenager.
Edith Bone wrote her own epitaph:
Edith Bone (1889-1975)
On Myself
Here lies the body of Edith Bone.
All her life she lived alone,
Until Death added the final S
And put an end to her loneliness. ( )
