Welcome to Litsy!

At a holiday party, I asked the hostess (whose home was filled with books) to recommend a favorite book and she chose this. I had a lot of “buts”: “But I don‘t really care for war novels; But didn‘t Hemingway already write about WWI nurses?” She told me it‘s fantastic and that it‘s about hope in a time of chaos and about perseverance over adversity. She called it epic and brilliant. How can you NOT read something when it is delivered like that?

I love visiting my grandmother's house and getting to admire all of her bookshelves! 👵🏼📚

I am a fan of expansive, heart-breaking, and nostalgia inducing tales. This book was all of that, and more. Starting with a bang, it doesn't let go. The growth of the main characters, and the introduction of well-developed secondary characters, shows this writer is a master. It brought the impact of the war, without the gore, also. And finally, the ending. 😱😦💔💙😍 #LitsyAtoZ #LetterK #warnurses #sisters

A snowy, sleepy day out of the wind, with a chance to finish my laundry, listen to music, drink a glass of wine, and start my next book. #currentlyreading #LitsyAtoZ #LetterK #WWI #warnurse 😊📚🐛🐦💙😍🍷❄

Spent the day at the at the National War Museum. Hearing the WWI nurses stories reminded me of this book.
