Within the first two chapters, two of the three main characters, Scarlet and Ellie, had been painted so vividly that you cared what happened to them. The development of their friendship was lovely. While the book was overall enjoyable, in the end my challenge with it was that there was very little plot beyond the romances of main characters. ( ) Three young women from different backgrounds become nurses for England in WWII. During their experiences, they meet the men that they will marry, thus the title. The romance part of this book was less interesting to me than the battlefield experiences that the characters, both men and women, experienced. Most of us today are far removed from the realities of war except for what we read in history books. I appreciated the way the author handled the setting and different situations. The ending seemed a bit rushed as far as the romance part is concerned, but I find that is often the case in books these days. As a lover of historical fiction, I usually choose one of the monthly selection of my free Kindle First list and Wives of War did not disappoint. The story takes place mainly over a few weeks after D-Day which made for an interesting read as the world was celebrating the 75th anniversary of this horrific event. The British had been enduring WWII for several years before June 6, 1944, but more nurses were needed and newly trained Scarlet and Ellie meet at a train station of the way to their first assignment. The two nurses quickly bonded and became fast friends. The third nurse, Lucy, an experienced wartime nurse, becomes the third friend in this tale of love and war. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
An RNA Romantic Novel of the Year Award nominee and an Amazon Charts bestseller.London, 1944. Two young nurses meet at a train station with a common purpose: to join the war effort. Scarlet longs for the chance to find her missing fianc', Thomas, and to prove to her family--and to herself--that she's stronger than everybody thinks. Nursing is in Ellie's blood, but her humble background is vastly different from Scarlet's privileged upbringing. Though Ellie puts on a brave face, she's just as nervous as Scarlet about what awaits them in France.In Normandy, the two friends soon encounter the seemingly unflappable Lucy. Scarlet and Ellie are in awe of her courage and competence, but the experienced nurse is well aware of the dangers of the job they've chosen--and even she is terrified they won't make it home alive.Pushed to their limits by the brutality of a world at war, Scarlet, Ellie and Lucy will need to rely on each other--and the power of their friendship--to survive.
