The Daughters of Mars by Thomas Keneally

4.0

It took me a while to warm to this book, as the daughters of the title are a little cold and aloof. At one point I thought they might have, between them, every possible experience of WWI so that we could have it too, but less than half way through I found it captivating. I love WWI as a setting, and haven't often gone to Egypt and Turkey as well as France and England. The characters go on a moving journey, based on journals of real Aussie nurses, and I ended up really enjoying this book.
