In fiction, Robin recommends [[The Daughters of Mars by Thomas Keneally]]. Expectations are high for this story of the World War I experiences of the Australian, Durance sisters who volunteer for nursing duties in far off Europe. It's an expertly researched story, full of compassion and human spirit, and a fitting tribute to the brave volunteers - and with an ending that you will want to talk about with other readers.
