Set in a wonderfully well imagined 1920s, this is the story of three young women who travel (first class, by sea) to India. Eighteen-year-old Rose is going to be married, to a young man she hardly knows. Her friend, bubbly, insecure Victoria (Tor) is to be her bridesmaid -- delighted to escape from her domineering, critical mother, she also hopes to find herself a husband. The third, Viva, is a few years older but has managed to get her fare paid by the girls' mothers in return for acting as their chaperone.

Set during the Crimean war, this is the story of Catherine Carreg, a young woman who finds the restrictive life of small town mid-nineteenth century Wales oppressive, and longs to escape. After the death of her mother in childbirth, Catherine decides she needs to make a difference in the world, and runs away to London with local cattle drovers to train as a nurse. She trains in Florence Nightingale’s home for sick nurses, then volunteers to nurse in the hell that is the hospital at Scutari, on the mouth of the Black Sea. Beset by ignorance, antagonism and illness, Catherine must fight to learn the lessons of love and war. I have never been particularly interested in this period of history, but Ms Gregson has brought it alive for me. The writing ... Read More: >>More Details |
