Publisher's Synopsis
Christmas 1941: the nurses at the Nightingale Hospital are facing their toughest winter yet. Every news bulletin announces more losses and the British people are weary and demoralised. Millie is recently widowed and dealing with the demands of her family's estate. It's not long before her old world of The Nightingale begins to beckon, along with a long-lost love... Jess would prefer to be nursing on the front line but is instead sent to the countryside. Effie finds herself exiled to a small village, but she soon finds excitement in the shape of a smooth-talking GI. But there is heartache in the countryside too...
