I struggled to get into the book. I found the storyline a bit far fetched at times and didn't like the instant hatred between two of the nurses and felt it did not add to the title. I persevered and enjoyed parts of story and would probably try another book in the series to see if it was more enjoyable.

I couldn't get into this book I'm sorry it just jumped around the characters story's a bit to much. And not enough on the work they where doing

I enjoyed the story and ultimately it left me wanting more. More detail, more depth, more complexity. I believe this is the initial book in a potential series and I anticipate I will read subsequent books even though this one left me wanting more. I hope the characters will continue to develop as their stories continue. 2.,5 stars rounded up.

I am a lover of World War II stories and this did not disappoint. Three nurses, Freda, Veronica, and Sylvia forge a new friendship the first day they begin working as nurses in Bath. Each woman has their own demons and struggles but this book illustrates the value and power of true friendship and trust that can help carry you through life.

September 1941, Bath – three friends are about to find that some of the biggest battles are to be found on the home front…
Three cheers for the author because they have done it again… I opened this book and I was lost straight away… brilliant story…

“The Home Front Nurses” is the first in a new series by Rachel Brimble. This WWII historical fiction book, set in England, follows three nurses - Veronica, Sylvia, and Freda - who become fast friends on their first day working together. Each woman has her own separate struggles, but at its heart this book is about the power of friendship, even during difficult times.

Set in 1941 in Bath, this is the story of three plucky nurses, Sylvia, Freda and Veronica who meet on their first day of working together and quickly become fast friends. Each woman has her own set of struggles and obstacles to overcome and the devastation of the war is felt by everyone. But this is a hopeful story about friendship and learning to trust.
I love stories about women who strive for their own goals in life independent of men and who understand the joy and security of close female friendships. I’m looking forward to more books in the series!
Thank you to Netgalley for providing a review copy.

Historical fiction and the medical professionals are two of my favorite subjects. It’s so cool to learn the history of a profession. Don’t skip this book.
