A doorstep of a book which takes some time to move beyond clichés of character, relationship and history, but eventually, telling Emily's story, it does take hold. In the detail of nursing in a front-line hospital during the 1914-18 war, we have all the story we need: the earlier sections seeming shallow by comparison. Some readers well know this as a sequel to the suffragette novel, A Question of Courage, but new ones won't be disadvantaged and will find many of the elements of the history saga in a comfortably accessible form.
