Summary: Please, please, please read this book
Comment: Very few war books are written by women. This book is one of those, and, next to Tim O'Brien's 'The Things They Carried' and 'Going After Cacciato,' it's absolutely among the very best. Based on the women's experiences as nurses at the front during the First World War, it is spare, unflinching, horrifying - and at the same time, poetic, elegiac, and beautiful. Not an exclamation point anywhere, no attempt to dramatize or sensationalize the death and maiming injuries they saw daily. Read it, and prepare to be overwhelmed.
