She asked dozens of young women to lay their lives on the line during the Great War. Can she protect them?
Superintendent of Nurses Julia Stimson must recruit 64 nurses to relieve the battle-worn British, months before American troops are ready to be deployed. She knows the young nurses serving near the front lines will face a challenging situation, but nothing could have prepared her for the difficulties that await when they arrive at British Base Hospital 12 in Rouen, France. The primitive conditions, a convoluted supply system, and horrific battle wounds are enough to discourage the most hardened nurses, and Julia can do nothing but lead by example - even as the military doctors undermine her authority and make her question her very place in the hospital tent.
When trainloads of soldiers stricken by a mysterious respiratory illness arrive one after the other, overwhelming the hospital’s limited resources and threatening the health of her staff, Julia faces an unthinkable choice - step outside the bounds of her profession and risk the career she has fought so hard for or watch the people she cares for most die in her arms.
Based on a true story, The War Nurse is a sweeping historical novel by international best-selling author Tracey Enerson Wood that takes listeners on an unforgettable journey through World War I France.

In the snowbound city of Kiev, wry and bookish history student Mila Pavlichenko organizes her life around her library job and her young son—but Hitler’s invasion of Russia sends her on a different path. Given a rifle and sent to join the fight, Mila must forge herself from studious girl to deadly sniper—a lethal hunter of Nazis known as Lady Death. When news of her three hundredth kill makes her a national heroine, Mila finds herself torn from the bloody battlefields of the eastern front and sent to America on a goodwill tour.

Historia
When Eleanor Atherton graduates from medical school near the top of her class in 1917, she dreams of going overseas to help the wounded, but her ambition is thwarted at every turn. Eleanor's parents insist she must give up medicine, marry a respectable man, and assume her proper place. While women might serve as ambulance drivers or nurses at the front, they cannot be physicians - that work is too dangerous and frightening. Nevertheless, Eleanor is determined to make more of a contribution than sitting at home knitting for the troops.

Since Gran died a few months ago, twenty-five-year-old Molly has been navigating life’s complexities all by herself. No matter—she throws herself with gusto into her work as a hotel maid. Her unique character, along with her obsessive love of cleaning and proper etiquette, make her an ideal fit for the job.

In 1942, the Gestapo sent out an urgent transmission: "She is the most dangerous of all Allied spies. We must find and destroy her." The target in their sights was Virginia Hall, a Baltimore socialite who talked her way into Special Operations Executive, the spy organization dubbed Winston Churchill's "Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare." She became the first Allied woman deployed behind enemy lines and - despite her prosthetic leg - helped to light the flame of the French Resistance, revolutionizing secret warfare as we know it.

Newly enlisted as an Army Corps nurse, Eva is stunned by the splendor she experiences aboard the steamship SS Lurline; even more so by Lt. Clark Spencer, a man she is drawn to but who clearly has secrets of his own. But Eva’s past - and the future she’s trying to create - means that she’s not free to follow her heart.

Through Jim Burden's endearing, smitten voice, we revisit the remarkable vicissitudes of immigrant life in the Nebraska heartland, with all its insistent bonds. Guiding the way are some of literature's most beguiling characters: the Russian brothers plagued by memories of a fateful sleigh ride, Antonia's desperately homesick father and self-indulgent mother, and the coy Lena Lingard. Holding the pastoral society's heart, of course, is the bewitching, free-spirited Antonia.

She's been too busy to even notice the small patch of pale skin on the back of her hand. Other than an occasional overindulgence in gin and champagne, which helps to numb the pain of recent tragedy, Mirielle is the picture of health. But her doctor insists on more tests, and Mirielle reluctantly agrees. The diagnosis - leprosy - is devastating and unthinkable.

It’s 1927, and the National Park Service is in its youth when Margie, an avid naturalist, lands a coveted position alongside the park rangers living and working in the unrivaled splendor of Mount Rainier’s long shadow. But Chief Ranger Ford Brayden is still haunted by his father’s death on the mountain, and the ranger takes his work managing the park and its crowd of visitors seriously. The job of watching over an idealistic senator’s daughter with few practical survival skills seems a waste of resources.

Historia
The number of soldiers wounded in World War I is, in itself, devastating: over 21 million military wounded, and nearly 10 million killed. On the battlefield, the injuries were shocking, unlike anything those in the medical field had ever witnessed. The bullets hit fast and hard, went deep, and took bits of dirty uniform and airborne soil particles in with them. Soldier after soldier came in with the most dreaded kinds of casualty: awful, deep, ragged wounds to their heads, faces, and abdomens.

In World War II, 59,000 women voluntarily risked their lives for their country as US Army nurses. For more than half a century these women's experiences remained untold, almost without reference in books, historical societies, or military archives. After years of research and hundreds of hours of interviews, Evelyn M. Monahan and Rosemary Neidel-Greenlee have created a dramatic narrative that at last brings to light the critical role that women played throughout the war.

Excellent portrayal of WWI medical challenges
Although fictitious the story wove of fascinating love of but fascinating love affair between 2 characters that could have potentially been in a relationship in real life. The portrayal of the medical challenges that they faced on the front line during World War I We're very real and presented in a believable manner throughout the book

Narration great
This was a slightly different account of a war time nurse experience. I thought it was timeline appropriate, and very no-nonsense. Easy to follow characters. I enjoyed it.

Not as much as I Expected
I was really excited to get this book since I love the topic. I was a bit disappointed in the delivery though. All of the components of a great story are there, but they need developed more. The whole book was rather anticlimactic and could have used more dramatization. When I finished the book I didn't realize it had ended until the authors note started playing because it didn't seem like the story was done or like it had built up anything. There's also a place where the narration overlaps so it sounds like it's playing two different things at the same time.

really enjoyed this historical fiction
you can tell the author was an RN and really did her research for the book. she has a short section at the end that talks about her time in Europe and the parts that are real, fiction, and the somewhere in between. a good book and storyline that speaks about the amazing things Matron Stimson did and her accomplished life.

History interesting, hated the writing
It is clear that significant research went into the writing of the War Nurse. While the history is interesting, the prose is clumsy and amateurish. I was very aware of Tracey Enerson Wood’s attempts to insert facts into her story. Frequent info dumps were didactic and kept the story from flowing. Sometimes Wood becomes repetitive, as if she couldn’t imagine another behavior for her character. Count how many times she describes Stimson’s stomach growling. The result is that I was always aware of the “hand of the writer,” and this kept me from becoming fully engaged in the story. Also unfortunate: Libby McKnight read as if this were a bedtime story. If Julia Stimson had a low voice, as Wood tells us, a reader with a more serious, lower register would have made more sense.
