Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
In 1939, Emma Dewar begins her training at a nursing home near Bristol. She survives unpleasant tasks and incessant discipline to learn about her fellow nursing students and the elderly residents they serve. Daish skillfully re-creates a society in flux as war encroaches on civilian life, culminating in an air raid that kills one of Emma's friends. However, once Emma moves to London to continue her training, Daish increasingly emphasizes Emma's relationship with a childhood friend from the Isle of Wight. Despite the security Phil offers and the wartime urgency to marry, Emma hesitates. Longing for romance instead of companionship, she eventually falls in love with a surgeon. Despite the more predictable nature of this section, Daish keeps the action moving. One only wishes she had also sustained the creation of place and character she achieved earlier. Note: The binding on this came apart on first reading.
