A WW11 Family Saga
Katarina Stahl is an American Red Cross nurse stationed in the Philippines working with her husband Jack Gallagher, a surgeon. Once their medical mission over they set on their way home to the States when they witnessed bombs falling out of planes....now trapped they needed all their wits to survive.... This drama is an epic war stories of two families the Stahl and the Gallagher. One will depict Manilla in all its horrors and the other will brings us to the U.S.A with the internment of German resident aliens and German- American citizens.
My thoughts in a few words:
I have mixed feeling about this story it starts very slow and seems not to take wings even dwindles at one point. I join those saying the story is a bit contrived and style lack spunk, its narrative is somewhat choppy but I overcame this after a while and went with the flow. At one point and finally the story became very interesting and then it had all of my attention. I enjoyed being taken away from the European conflict which I am an avid reader of and step out of my comfort zone to read a story on the other side of the world.
There is a lot of movement In “The War Nurse”, each chapter alternates from Katarina’s story in the Philippine with the Stahl family in the U.S.A. Multiple characters show up for us to track of it is a bit challenging to place everyone and follow them but eventually all will come into place.
This is another glimpse of what war does to people and highlights the remarkable survival instinct human have....
This story may not have been my favourite nevertheless it left me satisfied.
