Reviews
beautifully read
jaded_grl
this book is beautifully read, a fine job. the writer of this book did a lot to help out the people she was with - respected as english & having a female influence - she was able to obtain food, clothes, and comfort items which made her battalion love her & care for her. it is not a great story, you dont get absorbed & left wondering what will happen next... its just sort of informative about serbs in WWI and this lady who ended up with them.

It made me sad and proud at the same time. I can’t truly imagine what they went through. Great listening and one big thank you to the English women who spent time and helped to my fellow Serbians.
