Helpful Score: 2

I just adore Julia Gregson's writing. It's historical fiction for strong women, with just a little bit of romance thrown in - though that's truly not the focus. She really digs deep into the atmosphere, the characters and does a terrific job of making you feel as if you have been transported. This novel centers on Florence Nightingale's nurses, and can actually be pretty dark at times. It features some graphic and detailed descriptions of the wounded, and of living conditions, mistreatment, etc that some of the early nurses encountered.
