It was good, but I don't think it was as good as the other two books (Lilac Girls and Lost Roses). It felt like something was missing/that parts of the novel were forced (ie: George's relationship with Frank Bacon).

This book is about nursing during the American Civil War. It is split into three perspectives. One of a northern nurse, one of a slave in Maryland and one of a plantation owner in Maryland. The author does not do much to sugar coat what those people would have been through or done to other people. It is a good book. I would just recommend being ready for that aspect of the story.walter_the_wombat's review against another edition
