Teresa Messineo's schrijven bepleit sociale rechtvaardigheid en de underdog, een passie die haar literaire inspanningen aanwakkert. Haar roman, 'The Fire by Night', is een bewijs van haar gecombineerde liefde voor geneeskunde en verhalen vertellen. Als levenslange leerling die gelooft dat we van onze fouten leren, is Messineo's proza zowel krachtig als diep gevoeld. Haar unieke stem resoneert met urgentie en overtuiging.
A powerful and gorgeously written debut about two military nurses working on the front lines of WWII. THE FIRE BY NIGHT shines a light on the American women who were as brave as any band of brothers, but whose heroic roles in World War II have mostly been left unsung. Perfect for fans of Sara Gruen, THE NIGHTINGALE and ALL THE LIGHT WE CANNOT SEE, as well as military history buffs.
Red Cross nurse Diana Bolsena is desperate to return to the frontline of the war efforts. However, she finds herself stranded in Tuscany. When a German officer arrives searching for secrets that could change the course of humanity, Diana realizes she could do more good here than on the frontline... if she can get to the secrets first.
