The War Nurse

De: Tracey Enerson Wood

Narrado por: Libby McKnight

She asked dozens of young women to lay their lives on the line during the Great War. Can she protect them?

Superintendent of Nurses Julia Stimson must recruit 64 nurses to relieve the battle-worn British, months before American troops are ready to be deployed. She knows the young nurses serving near the front lines will face a challenging situation, but nothing could have prepared her for the difficulties that await when they arrive at British Base Hospital 12 in Rouen, France. The primitive conditions, a convoluted supply system, and horrific battle wounds are enough to discourage the most hardened nurses, and Julia can do nothing but lead by example - even as the military doctors undermine her authority and make her question her very place in the hospital tent.

When trainloads of soldiers stricken by a mysterious respiratory illness arrive one after the other, overwhelming the hospital’s limited resources and threatening the health of her staff, Julia faces an unthinkable choice - step outside the bounds of her profession and risk the career she has fought so hard for or watch the people she cares for most die in her arms.

Based on a true story, The War Nurse is a sweeping historical novel by international best-selling author Tracey Enerson Wood that takes listeners on an unforgettable journey through World War I France.

Excellent portrayal of WWI medical challenges

Although fictitious the story wove of fascinating love of but fascinating love affair between 2 characters that could have potentially been in a relationship in real life. The portrayal of the medical challenges that they faced on the front line during World War I We're very real and presented in a believable manner throughout the book

Narration great

This was a slightly different account of a war time nurse experience. I thought it was timeline appropriate, and very no-nonsense. Easy to follow characters. I enjoyed it.

The story was spellbinding

Story sorts just meandered alone, like some person life it is ended, there was no finale!!

wonderful nurse book

I'm always looking for a good nurse historical. This is history at its best. Recommended.

I didn’t realize this person was a real person until the epilogue so this is a lot of historical non fiction.

How very far we have come in the medical and nursing field.somewhat interesting story . With mostly likeable characters
