Wives of War — Soraya Lane

London, 1944. Two young women meet at a train station with a common purpose: to join the war effort as nurses. For Scarlet, it's a chance to find her missing fiance, Thomas, and to prove to her family -- and to herself -- that she's stronger than everybody thinks. For Ellie, nursing is in her blood, and her humble background is a million miles away from Scarlet's privileged upbringing. But though Ellie puts on a brave face, she's just as nervous as Scarlet about what awaits them in France.

When the two friends arrive in Normandy and encounter the seemingly unflappable Lucy, they're in awe of her courage and competence. But the experienced nurse is well aware of the dangers of the job they've chosen -- and even she is terrified they won't make it home alive.

Pushed to their limits by the brutality of a world at war, Scarlet, Ellie and Lucy will need to rely on each other and the power of their friendship to survive.
