The young nurse ran across the wooden deck, her feet skidding. She spotted an injured young man clinging to the ship's rail, his eyes wide with terror. She could see the water rushing up to meet them. 'We need to jump!' she screamed. In that moment, a wave washed over them. She lunged forward to grab his hand, but she was a second too slow. Somewhere, deep inside the vessel, came a loud crack. The hospital ship was breaking apart... 1914. Evie Munro is a Scottish fisher girl, working the herring season from Wick to Great Yarmouth. For Evie, every day is the same - gutting fish at the docks, shoulder-to-shoulder with her friends, followed by fresh bread, a warm whiskey toddy and an early night. But when Germany declares war on Britain, everything changes. As her village begins to empty of young men, Evie's life is marked by a heartbreaking tragedy at home. Her happiness destroyed, she vows to join the war effort as an army nurse, caring for wounded soldiers on the imposing hospital ship Britannic. But as the war rages on and the ship comes under direct fire, Evie's courage is put to the ultimate test. Can Evie and the nurses of the HMHS Britannic save the day and heal the patients in their care? Or will their lives become one more casualty in Britain's heroic fight for freedom? A heartbreaking wartime saga - guaranteed to have you grabbing for the tissues! Perfect for fans of Nadine Dorries, Diney Costeloe and Nancy Revell.
