This novel, originally published in 1930, tells the story of Nellie Smith and her fellow ambulance drivers in the Volunteer Aid Detachment during the First World War as they transport wounded soldiers from the French battlefield, as well as find a way to cope with the agony, filth, exhaustion, and brutality of war they witness on a daily basis. At the same time, Nellie, the story's narrator, struggles with her family and their peers back home, who are extremely enthusiastic about the young women and their participation for the war effort. Anyone looking for a compelling war story should definitely check it out.
