I really enjoyed this book from Jennifer Craig. She tells her story in an interesting manner, and for me it was a real page turner.I loved how she described the characters she knew and even down to their voices, I could hear them in my head as she told the story.I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys this sort of genre. And anyone who is worried about medical descriptions need not worry as Jennifer does not go into graphic detail about wounds or operations.Highly recommended - I just wish there were more nurses tales from Jennifer, she kept me entertained with her story page after page. What a lovely book this is. Giving great detail of the life of a trainee nurse in the 1950s. A true story of a way of nursing long past.Back Cover Blurb:A trainee nurse in the 1950s had a lot to bear. In Jennifer Craig's enchanting memoir, we meet these warm-hearted yet naive young girls as they get to grips with strict discipline, long hours and bodily fluids. But we also see the camaraderie that develops in late-night study sessions, sneaked trips to the cinema and mischievous escapades with twinkly-eyed young doctors.
Great book, wonderful detail, and an enjoyable historical read that will stand the test of time!
