Told skillfully via a duel timeline, modern day Savannah, and WWII, Audrey Thorpe appears to have lived a life of comfort and ease. Not many know, not even her social status driven granddaughter, Deanna, that she spent several years as a nurse in the South Pacific. They don't know the decisions she's had to make. The sacrifices.
I found the story settings in each timeline filled with rich details. The modern day backdrop of Savannah came to life as did the South Pacific locations of Bataan and Corrigedor. Adams deftly reveals to readers what these nurses endured while caring for wounded and dying soldiers, the suffering everyone experienced.
Additionally, Adams expertly portrays Audrey Thorpe's decline due to age, her difficulties in simple day to day tasks, her confusion over basic instructions, and her feelings of loss as she worries over losing her independence. When Deanna brings in a caregiver, Audrey is at first dismayed, but Laurel proves to be an ally, and one who will become key in bringing about the truth of Audrey's past.
This is a highly creative tale of friendship, loyalty, and honor among family and friends.
