Idgie Says:
Out of the grouping of Great War novels I have recently read, this one is my favorite. Sparse, tight writing tells a story that you wouldn't expect. There's so much mystery in the story from the very beginning and you stay gripped to the pages as Stella's tale slowly unveils itself. It's a story you would not expect from that time period, but believable all the same. Stella is a woman you're rooting for, even when you're not sure why.
An epic story, set against the backdrop of World War I, from bestselling author Anita Shreve.When
an American woman, Stella Bain, is found suffering from severe shell
shock in an exclusive garden in London, surgeon August Bridge and his
wife selflessly agree to take her in.
A gesture of goodwill turns into something more as Bridge quickly develops a clinical interest in his houseguest. Stella had been working as a nurse's aide near the front, but she can't remember anything prior to four months earlier when she was found wounded on a French battlefield.
In a narrative that takes us from London to America and back again, Shreve has created an engrossing and wrenching tale about love and the meaning of memory, set against the haunting backdrop of a war that destroyed an entire generation.
