The Nightingale Girls is all about three
girls with very different personalities, who have signed up to be trainee
nurses at one of the best teaching hospitals in London in the 1930’s.
Dora comes from a poor background and she
is passionate and determined to become a nurse. Dora has always dreamed about
being a nurse and it is a career choice that can help her escape from her
humble beginnings and save her from her abusive Stepfather.
But with money for new text books to be
found, will Dora be able to keep up with her fellow students if she falls
behind in her studies due to a lack of books?
Helen’s mother is a hospital trustee and
her brother is a doctor. Helen does not have many friends and she tends to keep
herself to herself. But deep down Helen is deeply unhappy; her controlling
mother controls all aspects of her life. So when Helen gets the chance to live
her own life and break free from her overbearing mother, will she be able to
make a stand?
Millie or to give her, her full title Lady Amelia
is a carefree girl from an aristocrat family. Millie is a bit of a rebel often
arriving back at the hospital late after a night out and avoiding the more
senior staff. Millie is already repeating her preliminary training after
failing the first time round, she now needs to work hard. Can she become more
organised and prove she as what it takes to become a nurse?
This is the first in a series of novels
following the lives and loves of three trainee nurses in the 1930’s. It is a
really wonderful read that I found really touching at times. I really liked all
the characters they are really likable. The story does not just concentrate on
the characters time in the hospital but on their personal lives too. I really
want to find out what is going to happen to the characters in the next book, so
it is a book that leaves the reader wanting more and I can’t wait to read the
next book in the series.
