In July 1915 the hospital ship Maheno leaves Wellington with 70 New Zealand nurses on board. Addie Harrington and Meg Dutton are assigned to the same cabin. Quiet and cautious, Addie is taken aback by her impetuous, fun-loving roommate. The two women seem to have little in common other than a desire to serve their country. But as they care for injured and dying soldiers in Egypt and France, they discover that deep connections can develop under unusual circumstances. When Meg meets British surgeon Wallace Madison, she falls for him immediately and amidst the chaos of overloaded military hospitals they embark on an intense love affair. Addie suspects Wallace has much to hide and fears the relationship will destroy her friend.

Lives We Leave Behind
While the author has based her story from historical facts - Her novel was a bit simplistic for me. Probably because I had already read -" The Other Anzacs" by Peter Rees. ( thoroughly recommend this to readers) I found it difficult to be convinced that the character "Addie" was as naive as the author depicted- after all she had completed her nursing training. But then nurses were thought as of not being as intelligent or as experienced as for example - teachers. Also was it because she was from Riverton? the so called backwaters of NZ for those days- just a thought
My Thoughts
This story pulls right in and you feel you are in the hospital or at the front line! The book is very well written and holds your attention so there is no skipping pages. Xlnt read.
Good Read
Very interesting look at what our NZ Nurses went through in the WW1, with a little bit of romance too.
