This book should be labeled as romance. WWI is simply a setting for a love affair and a first sexual experience. Waste of time for me. Kristi & Abby Tabby

A light easy read. The kind that makes you feel that the author could churn out a dozen of these in no time. The protagonists are likeable. The story takes place mainly in a field hospital during the First World War. What struck me was…

An amazing story of an aristocratic lady who leaves everything behind to help with the war efforts in France during the Great War. A heartwarming tale of strength, courage, and determination.

I enjoyed this book. It is an engaging story, and a view of World War I medical efforts. Of course, there is a lovely and realistic love story in it as well as lots of other believable friendships.

How much did I love this book? I bought it, that's how much. And when a librarian buys a book...it's good.

A nice one to read at a time when you're looking for something that won't be a real brain-drain, but will have a satisfying story behind it.

A little slow in places, but a good read nevertheless. The author's dad is an expert on the Great War or World War I, so her historical details are meticulous.

This book gives a rare and honest look at the "War to end all Wars". The good, the bad and the ugly. It is a real eye opener. You will never be sorry you read it.
