It’s 1915, the middle of WWI, and sixteen-year-old Australian, Flora Wentworth, is visiting Cairo with her archaeologist father. She watches with growing alarm as first a trickle and then a flood of wounded soldiers are shipped into the city from Gallipoli.
Flora’s comfortable life is turned upside down when a hospital visit thrusts her into the realities of World War 1. She is soon transporting injured soldiers and helping exhausted nurses – and managing to fall in love along the way.
As Flora battles to save lives and find her own path, a tragic misunderstanding changes everything . . .
