August 1914. As the First World War begins, two women are determined to do whatever they can for their country...
'I was holding my breath between chapters! A moving and intricately researched tale.' -- Jessica Bull, author of Miss Austen Investigates
'A masterclass in writing, and a wonderful heart-warming story.' -- Gill Thompson, author of The Child on Platform One
Edie Lawrence has never been one to play by the rules.
When war is declared in Europe, she disguises herself as a soldier and enlists with a London regiment, determined to become the first woman to report from the front line. Just as importantly, it gives her the chance to find news of Nate, the man she loves, who has already been sent to the Front.
Meanwhile, Dr. Lucinda Garland offers her medical services to the War Office--only to be turned away.
Undeterred, she joins forces with the French Red Cross to establish a pioneering military hospital in Paris run entirely by women. As waves of wounded soldiers arrive, Lucinda struggles with the devastating realities of war while finding herself unexpectedly falling in love.
When Edie is gravely injured and her true identity is revealed on Lucinda's operating table, the lives of these two courageous women become inextricably entwined. Together, they must fight not only for their country, but for the future of women in a world transformed by war.
Praise for Women of War
Women of War is impeccably researched, brilliantly written, and shines a light on forgotten stories from the past.*
-- Fiona Schneider, author of The Paris Affair
