In what is perhaps "the best novel of his career" ("The
Spectator"), the acclaimed author of "Schindler's List" tells the
unforgettable story of two sisters whose lives are transformed by
the cataclysm of the first world war.
IN 1915, Naomi and Sally Durance, two spirited Australian sisters,
join the war effort as nurses, escaping the confines of their
father's farm and carrying a guilty secret with them. Amid the
carnage, the sisters' tenuous bond strengthens as they bravely face
extreme danger and hostility--sometimes from their own side. There
is great humor and compassion, too, and the inspiring example of
the incredible women they serve alongside. In France, each meets an
exceptional man, the kind for whom she might relinquish her
newfound independence-- if only they all survive.
At once vast in scope and extraordinarily intimate, "The Daughters
of Mars" is a remarkable novel about suffering and transcendence,
despair and triumph, and the simple acts of decency that make us
human even in a world gone mad.
