'A beautiful story of friendship, new beginnings and love . . .
It's a love letter to the women who left behind everything to help
heal our country and establish the NHS. I could not have loved this
more and thought about it long after I turned the last page.' -
Kate Thompson, author of The Little Wartime Library Inspired by
real life stories of the Windrush Generation and her mother's own
experiences as a nurse coming to Britain from the Caribbean, Sarah
Lee's debut novel An Ocean Apart is a must for fans of Call the
Midwife. It's 1954 and, in Barbados, Ruby Haynes spots an
advertisement for young women to train as nurses for the new
National Health Service in Great Britain. Her sister, Connie, takes
some persuading, but soon the sisters are on their way to a new
country - and a whole new world of experiences. As they start their
training in Hertfordshire, they discover England isn't quite the
promised land; for every door that's opened to them, the sisters
find many slammed in their faces. And though the girls find
friendships with their fellow nurses, Connie struggles with being
so far from home, and keeping secret the daughter she has left
behind in search of a better life for the both of them . . . 'A
glorious triumph of a book full of characters that feel like real
friends, so atmospheric, compelling and nostalgic, I adored it.' -
Alex Brown, author of A Postcard from Italy
