As the horrors of the First World War are drawing to a close, a danger has arisen that will kill more people around the world than the Great War itself - an influenza pandemic. Charlotte McKenzie, assisting the doctor next door, finds herself experiencing at close hand the effects of this devastating disease. When it finally attacks her own family, how can Charlotte cope?… (mehr)
This entire series is a wonderful way to learn history or teach it to adolescents. I find today's generations seem to recall more when they learn through other people (pop songs, celebrity gossip, etc.), so what better way to teach history than through someone else's perspective? Yes, "authentic" diaries would be "better", but would the language really hold the modern student's attention? Did the diary writer know what WOULD be important in the context of history? Probably not.
A great historcial novel set in early Melbourne, about a girl whose shell-shocked father returns from the first world war. At this time there is also a flu epidemic in Melbourne. A tear-jerker. Excellent read for early teen to adults. ( )
