A review by kategci
Sisters of the Great War by Suzanne Feldman

3.0

Thank you to Bookbrowse.com and Harper Collins Publishers for an ARC of this novel in exchange for a fair review. A variation of this review has been submitted to Bookbrowse.com. Historical fiction about World War I gets short shrift compared to the large number of books written about World War II. This novel carves out a small section of the war to tell the story of two sisters who leave the comfort of their Baltimore home to join Britain's war effort as a nurse and an ambulance driver. They are sent to Ypres, Belgium and are immediately in the middle of some of the most gruesome parts of the war. This novel showed women leaving their homes, going to war and then having the ability to live different lives than their mothers. World War I opened up the possibilities for women to have careers and lives that did not include marriage and children.
