The Roses of No Man's Land by Lyn Macdonald
Walking straight out of Edwardian drawing rooms into the manifest horrors of the First World War, the volunteer nurses rose magnificently to the occasion. In leaking tents they fought another war, a war against agony and death. This book captures a panorama of hardship, disillusion and despair, and also of endurance and supreme courage.
The tale is allowed to tell itself without any frontal assault on the emotions, and is all the more stirring thereby * Observer *
