'Queen of Saga' Daily Express

The year is 1914, and with the onset of war, the future is uncertain. Pips Maitland is adamant on resisting her mother's wishes that she settle down with a suitable husband and raise children. All she wants is to be a doctor like her father, and her brother, Robert. Hearing that her father's friend, Dr John Hazelwood, is forming a flying ambulance corps to take to the front when war is declared, Pips is determined to become one of its nurses and asks Alice Dawson, her lady's maid, to accompany her. Robert and fellow doctor, Giles Kendall, also agree to join.

Nothing could have prepared them for the horrific sights they encounter. Moving their unit close to the fighting to offer first aid to the casualties as quickly as possible puts them all in constant danger. But even amidst the sound of shelling and gunfire, and the long exhausting hours of tending the wounded and dying, love and friendships blossom - just like the poppies on the Flanders fields.

But will the home fires still burn, and can the relationships forged in such times survive one of the worst wars the world has ever seen . . . ?

'A gripping saga full of heart-rending drama' Yours
