3.0 out of 5 stars
Good subject, less than stellar writing
Elsie and Mairi Goes to War had the potential to be a great read as the subject matter is interesting and exciting. However the author writes more like she is writing a dissertation rather than a book. The story is disjointed and frequently rather confusing, with a number of detours into largely irrelevant directions. I don't regret reading it, but I can't recommend it.
