Maggie Bennett

This book featured Mabel who is training to be a nurse amidst the ravages of WWI. It brings to live the very real pain of waiting for news of a loved one while trying to live a normal life. Charecterisation was exceptional, they felt like real people. If you like dramas of the war period, nursing , coping through traumatic events or just a good story then this is te book for you.

Sequel to Strangers and Pilgrims by the same author, but not quite as good. I didn't care for the characters as much, even though many featured in the first book, and the storyline wasn't as gripping (or shocking!). However, as a light, quick romance read it was fine.
