hannahjoy91 's review for:
A Rose for the ANZAC Boys
by Jackie French
I've read this three times now and each time I read it I only love it more. There's just something about the way the characters are written, the raw but not too gruesomely detail realities of war and the heartfelt story of three young women trying to do their bit while men are being slaughtered on the battle field. I always end up teary-eyed reading the letters Midge receives from the front.
Midge Macpherson is tired of studying French verbs and rolling bandages at school in England so her and her two best friends set up a canteen in France to feed the many men that pass through the train station on their way to and from the front lines. Soon, however, Midge finds herself in the thick of it in a field hospital amongst the wounded & dying soldiers.
In this short novel Jackie French takes pieces of your heart one by one only to put them back together by the end.
Go. Read. This. Now
