I love this historical fiction series which follows the stories of generations from the same family home in England. This volume in the series finds the women grappling with how to make a difference and reconcile their ambitions with their place in society and their relationships with various other men & women. Everyone in the story struggles with the changing economy and the ugliness of the trench fighting during first world war. Another year in the First World War for the Morlands. This focuses less on the battlefield than the previous book- we hear more about Jessie nursing and what Violet and Venetia are up to. Once again, the battle scenes are highly detailed. I was a little upset that the Anzac only rated a couple of paragraphs, but I suppose this is the English version of history- Aussies would say (a lot) more about the 'heavy losses' at Anzac Cove. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Appartiene alle SerieMorland Dynasty (29)
In 1915 the first euphoria of the war has worn off, but the nation is more determined than ever to win. When Ned is sent to the Front ahead of his battalion, Jessie, already involved in various charity works, feels the need to do more and becomes an auxiliary nurse. But life on the wards is harder than she expects. Meanwhile, Helen and Jack settle in a home of their own at last, and Helen takes on a surprise war role of her own. And for Violet in London, a chance meeting with talented young artist threatens to destroy her calm and ordered life. With stalemate on the Eastern Front, everything now hangs on the new September offensive on the Western Front, the Battle of Loos. Both Ned and Bertie will be leading their men over the top, leaving the rest of the family to pray for their safe return. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
