My thoughts
This was a recent NetGalley read of mine. My thanks to the Publishers via NetGalley for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. It has sat on my TBR pile for some time and I actually listed it as a Reading Challenge for November 2021, but sadly never got round to reading it.
This is the fourth book in the District Nurses series, but it can be read as a standalone book.
I thoroughly enjoyed this story set during the second world war. Whilst the story featured more on the lives of the people suffering the fallout of the war at home, rather than actual frontline drama.
Focusing on the District Nurses based at Victory Walk, this story tells us about the lives of Lily and Ruby two new editions to the local area. Both young women have their own issues to deal with, as well as the situations that they find themselves in as they aim to carry out their day to day work.
This is the first book that I have read by this Author and should I come across her again, I will have no hesitation in grabbing one and settling down to immerse myself in the lives and the world that the characters she creates live in.
