You will love every moment of this absolutely brilliant wartime saga, perfect for fans of Diney Costeloe, Soraya M. Lane, and Nadine Dorries.

As war takes its toll, the love and care of two brave young nurses become everything to the wounded soldiers they tend...

1914. Two plucky young nurses pledge to help the war effort: Mairi, a wholesome idealist hoping to leave behind her past and Elsie, a glamorous single mother with a weakness for handsome soldiers. Despite their differences, the pair become firm friends.

At the emergency medical shelter where they're based, Elsie and Mairi work around the clock to treat wounded soldiers. It's heart-breaking work and they are at constant risk from shelling, fire, and disease. Occasionally there are happier times...parties, trips, and letters. And maybe even the possibility of love with an attractive officer in their care...

But as the war continues and the stress of duty threatens to pull the two women apart, will Elsie and Mairi's special nurses' bond be strong enough to see them through?

Based on a true story, Mairi and Elsie's devotion and bravery will make you smile and cry. You won't want to put it down!

This was my first book by Lizzie Page, and I stumbled upon it while looking for a historical romance that took place during WWI.
This novel focuses on two women, Mairi and Elsie, who are asked to assist as nurses and ambulance drivers in Belgium during WWI. Despite her sheltered upbringing and knowing next to nothing about nursing, Mairi agrees. She was asked to go, based only on her ability to stay calm and collected during motorcycle races.
Elsie is Mairi’s polar opposite – more than a decade older, experienced, and worldly, and a single mother. And yet, these women form a sisterhood during the trials and trauma of working on the western front. They lived, and worked, in wretched conditions as they did their best to care for the soldiers, both the wounded and the dead. I liked this part of the novel.
It wasn’t the descriptions of deprivation and desolation that made this a challenging book. Instead, Mairi was such an insufferable person, I couldn’t understand why Elsie cared about her or protected her as much as she did. Honestly, had I been forced to live in such close quarters with her for as long as Elsie had to, I’m pretty sure I would have ended up punching her in the mouth, or at the very least, dreaming about doing it. Priggish, self-righteous, judgmental, rigid, unbending, willfully ignorant, and the type of religious zealot that does her best to cram her beliefs down the throats of others by the heaping tablespoon. I kept waiting for her to soften, to learn flexibility and grace as she gained maturity and experience, but this never happened.
There were some truly tender and touching moments, but they were overshadowed by Mairi’s repugnant personality and the heavy-handed religious themes.
And as if Mairi’s lack of character development wasn’t enough, this book failed to deliver the romance that the description suggests. Spoiler alert, THERE IS NO ROMANCE – just a petty, envious childish infatuation that ends in heartbreak for the three people swept up in it.
And after all of that, the ending was unsatisfying and lackluster – as if the author left the story only half-told.
Marian Hussey’s narration was lovely and was probably the main reason that I finished the book. The way she narrated the moment between Mairi and the traumatized soldier in the hospital made me cry and was one of a few moments where Mairi felt like a sympathetic and compassionate character.
You might be wondering why I bought this book if I was so opposed to the religious themes. Nowhere (on Audible at least) did I read anything that would indicate that this was an inspirational/religious novel. Usually, I can find this info by reading reviews or in the author’s bio, but this one surprised me. I think those who are looking for an inspirational fiction novel might enjoy this, but I was obviously not the target audience.

Unpleasant MC made this a tough read

This book seemed to go on forever, and ever, and ever. I forced myself to finish it, hoping it would get better, but it was mediocre, lackluster, and I really didn't enjoy any of the characters. The narrator also had the most annoying voice. I'm returning the next book in the series.

I really really wanted to like this book...

Boring. The characters did not even seem like they were in the same story. I started it over but still could not make the plot line and characters fit together.

Not for me

Main character was neurotic! Story was hard to follow. Narrator's voice was quite annoying. Tried to listen several different times, but shut it off, as it was a very poorly constructed story.

Not What I expected!
