London, 1944. Two young nurses meet at a train station with a common purpose: to join the war effort. Scarlet longs for the chance to find her missing fiancé, Thomas, and to prove to her family - and to herself - that she's stronger than everybody thinks. Nursing is in Ellie's blood, but her humble background is vastly different from Scarlet's privileged upbringing. Though Ellie puts on a brave face, she's just as nervous as Scarlet about what awaits them in France.

In Normandy, the two friends soon encounter the seemingly unflappable Lucy. Scarlet and Ellie are in awe of her courage and competence, but the experienced nurse is well aware of the dangers of the job they've chosen - and even she is terrified they won't make it home alive.

Pushed to their limits by the brutality of a world at war, Scarlet, Ellie and Lucy will need to rely on each other - and the power of their friendship - to survive.

The story line was nothing out of the ordinary but flowed well. The narrator had a deathly boring monotonous voice...it would have been better to have read the book.

Average war book

Interesting to hear perspectives of nurses in WWII. Quite hard to get over the slightly odd narration though. Her voice representations were okay, but the parts in between just sounded weird. ‘She said’ especially.

If you can get past that though, the book itself is entertaining.

Narration felt unnatural but a good story

This is a very nicely written but predictable story, primarily focused on the romantic lives of the characters. A nice holiday read but shallow.

A romance
