Nightingale | Laura Elvery

1 post | 1 read | 2 to read

Mayfair, 1910. At the age of ninety, Florence Nightingale is frail and no longer of sound mind. After a celebrated career as a nurse, writer and statistician, she now leads a reclusive existence. One summer evening she is astonished to receive a visitor: a young man named Silas Bradley, who claims to have met her during the Crimean War fifty-five years ago. But how can this be? And how does the elusive Jean Frawley connect their two lives? In this eagerly anticipated novel, Laura Elvery shows why she is one of the most lauded writers of her generation. Nightingale is a luminous tale of faith and love, bravery and care, and the vitality of women' s work.

Nightingale | Laura Elvery

so-so

Nightingale is a bit discombobulating, with moments of penetrating insight. On every page you‘ll find palpable frustration with the limitations placed on women, and the way that women‘s work, knowledge, and power is overlooked or – worse – actively dismissed. So, even though it might be challenging to follow the narrative itself, you‘ll still catch a very important ‘vibe‘. Full review: https://keepingupwiththepenguins.com/nightingale-laura-elvery/
