Band of Sisters is outstanding and perfect to read in March for Women's History Month. It shares the exploits of 18 women, all Smith College alumna, who left their relatively comfortable lives to voluntarily serve civilians in war-town rural France during WWI.
The novel held my attention because I was never sure what the Smith College Relief Unit would experience next. This is especially impressive as the plot is based on actual events documented in the letters members sent home to their families.
A fabulous reader's guide is available on the author's website; it contains spoilers so time your reading accordingly.
