Emma's War

by Elizabeth Daish

It is autumn 1939...and it is war time. Emma Dewar has completed the first rung of her nursing career. The Princess Beatrice Hospital - "Beatties" - in south-east London is the next step up for Emma, and sharing her preliminary training course is Bea Shuter, who is both amused and dismayed by Emma's goody-goody image. When the two girls are off-duty from patients, bedpans and study they are determined to make the most of their free time. London is teeming with men, most of them in uniform and all of them keen to befriend a pretty nurse. All's fair in love and war...especially when no one knows what their future holds.
