No Place For A Lady by Gill Paul

All's fair in love and war ...
1854. England is in the grip of a gruesome war.

Lucy Harvington, ill-educated beyond how to be a wife, has travelled to the Crimea with her handsome and impetuous officer husband Charlie. As the day of battle dawns she can only pray her husband survives. If he doesn't, what will become of her?

Dorothea Gray, volunteer nurse at the Westminster Hospital, is determined to follow her little sister Lucy to the front and to serve her country alongside her heroine Florence Nightingale and the pioneering nurses already risking their lives.

But neither sister could possibly have known the horrors they are about to witness - the courage, the cowardice, the danger - and the excitement - nor could they have guessed the risks they must take, the passion they will taste, and the simple fact that they may never see one another again ...

If you love Poldark, Gone With The Wind or the storytelling of Victoria Hislop, this is the perfect summer escape for you.

No Place for a Lady is a beautiful story you will never forget.
