No Place For A Lady
When we talked with author Jennifer Robson last week for the Modern Mrs. Darcy Book Club, she recommended Gill Paul as a talented writer who is well known in the UK, but who should be better known here in the States. Now they're next on my TBR. From the publisher: "The year is 1854, and Britain is in the grip of a gruesome war. Dorothea Gray has not seen her little sister Lucy since she eloped with the handsome Captain Charlie Harvington and set sail for the Crimea. Now, as the war worsens and the battlefields darken with blood, Dorothea must risk everything to find her sister and join Florence Nightingale in the Crimean hospitals, nursing the injured soldiers back to health. Can these two sisters find their way back to each other? A spellbinding tale of courage, adventure and true love."
