Lovely book from my childhood. Dark, haunting and all true. Will write a review ro follow soon.

As enchanting, beautiful and filled with hope as a beautiful night-sky full of stars. This is a book I read as a child, where I'd sit, dreaming starry-eyed dreams in my school's library.

I'd read about all the greats. And she was one of them.

It was stark and horrifiying in some ways. Even though it's a child's book, there are hospital scenes and scenes if death and illness. It's dark - but so beautiful. And remains in my mind ever so vividly. ( )

I have been in another reading slump lately, and decided to try and read smaller books. The Lady with the Lamp is a super small book and I really enjoyed it.

I have no idea where this book came from. It has been sitting on my To Be Read shelf for years. I think my dad might have brought it home from work for me. I guess it really doesn’t matter where it came from.

I’ve been interested in learning more about Florence Nightingale for years but never got around to reading anything about her until now. This biography is so interesting and easy to read. Even if it was longer, I think you would still fly right through it.

If you are interested in Florence Nightingale, this would be a good place to start. ( )
