The Nurse's War
(2015)(The Officer's Nurse)
(The second book in the Daisy Driscoll Sagas series)A novel by Merryn Allingham
From bestselling author Merryn Allingham comes an uplifting and emotional WWII saga about one young woman’s journey to finding her place in the world.
Please note this is a revised edition of The Nurse’s War.
London, 1941. Daisy Driscoll has only just fallen asleep after a gruelling day on the ward when a hammering on the door wakes her. The Home Sister shouts for the nurses to come down immediately. Through the blur of sleep, Daisy hears the unmistakable drone of the siren and planes in the distance. Another night raid, another night spent on mattresses in the basement.
After her husband’s cruel betrayal, Daisy is trying to forge a new life without him. She vows never to rely on a man again. But how much longer can she keep handsome Grayson Harte at arm’s length when he’s the only person who makes her feel like she’s not all alone in the world?
Then, while out in town one evening, Daisy is trapped in one of the worst air raids of the Blitz. Cowering in the shelter, Daisy realises that if she survives this night — and this war — she must learn to listen to her heart as well as her head.
Fans of Fiona Valpy, Dinah Jeffries, Lucinda Riley, Shari J. Ryan, Liz Fenwick and Soraya M. Lane will devour this sweeping emotional saga set during the Blitz.
