By: Rosie James

Narrated by: Anna Cordell

In the Great War, every act of courage counted…

Angelina Green never knew her mother, who left her in a cardboard box by the East London docks on a freezing November night when she was a tiny baby. Saved by a local orphanage, she knows she owes her life to the kindness of others. And she’s determined to repay her debt by working as a nurse.

Strong, kind and patient, Angelina is a natural on the ward. But when war breaks out in 1914 and she is sent to The Front, her courage is tested like never before…

As war rages around her, a chance meeting with a familiar soldier sends Angelina’s whole world into turmoil. Can she hold her nerve, save the men around her – and protect her heart?

Heartfelt Story

This is a tender story that pulls at your heart. I would like a sequel to find out what happens with Angelina & Alexander when they marry and continue their careers and family.

Disappointing

I usually enjoy WWII and medical fiction but this book was trite, predictable, sappy and had next to no medical contact.

The bones of a good book are there poor execution

This has the skeleton of a multi book series. This lacks depth of character development but is very superficial. I also feel the title is misleading as the “front line” is mere crumb of the book. This book is vague in plot development as well. This reads like a summary of a book rather than a book itself. As a former military nurse I enjoy the action and character driven historical fiction surrounding war and nurses. This book fell way short of using history as a plot device to explore feelings.
