I'm not quite finished but I loved Iris, both when she is young, and particularly when she is old. It was a very realistic insight into the aging processes of the mind and how we often look back into our past. Well researched and written. I'm hoping the ending concludes all secrets blended into the story line. I'll give a further review when I'm finished.

Second review (once finished)
I loved it. It gave me an insight into what nurses did during WWI and the terrible tragedies that unfolded. The resilience to endure those things makes you wonder, if placed in the same circumstances, that you would get through it the way they did.

I won't give too much away. Just read it.

Thank you Mary-Rose. It's a unique and wonderful book. [author:Mary-Rose MacColl|1596534]
