Three very different girls sign up as student nurses in 1936, while
England is still mourning the death of George V. Dora is a tough
East Ender, driven by ambition, but also desperate to escape her
squalid, overcrowded home and her abusive stepfather. Helen is the
quiet one, a mystery to her fellow nurses, avoiding fun, gossip and
the limelight. In fact she is in the formidable shadow of her
overbearing mother, who dominates every aspect of her life. Can a
nursing career free Helen at last? The third of our heroines is
naughty, rebellious Millie an aristocrat on the run from her
conventional upper class life. She is doomed to clash over and over
again with terrifying Sister Hyde and to get into scrape after
scrape especially where men are concerned. This utterly delightful
novel brings a London pre-war hospital vividly to life.
