As the war takes its toll, the Nightingale nurses must do their bit for king and country…

Dora is the devoted mother of twin babies but, determined to help the war effort, she goes back to work at the Nightingale Hospital.

More used to nights out in the West End, Jennifer and Cissy volunteer in the hope of tending to handsome soldiers. They soon find out that nursing isn’t quite what they were expecting.

For shy and troubled Eve, the hospital provides an escape from the pressures of home, but the life of a nurse is never easy, especially at wartime.

Can the nurses rally together while war rages all around them? And will the Nightingale Hospital survive the Blitz?

Donna Douglas is a Sunday Times bestselling author of heartwarming sagas set in wartime Britain. She was born in Wandsworth, south London, where she first began making up stories while perched on top of the back yard coal shed. Books were a luxury in her family, and trips to the library a rare treat, but she drew inspiration from watching storytellers on the TV show Jackanory, and from the girls' adventure comics her grandmother brought home from her cleaning job at the local newsagents. Her first novel, The Nightingale Girls, set in a hospital in 1930s East London, was an immediate success, and ten more novels in the series followed. She has since written two books in the Steeple Street series, featuring a district nurse in 1920s Leeds, and is currently writing the Yorkshire Blitz series, set in wartime Hull, East Yorkshire.

Donna now lives with her family in York. When she's not working, Donna enjoys walking, reading and watching trashy daytime TV.

Loved all of the Nightengalse series ---- very realistic settings and stories., some with happy ending, some with tragic endings. but all very interesting. I got caught up in the characters, and how even though the had their problems with each other. when it came down to taking care of the wounded, they united. Keeping it on my Kindle to read again the next cold day, when I can sit with a cup of tea.

4.0 out of 5 stars I love this series
Reviewed in the United States on August 14, 2015

The nurses have graduated and moved on, but war brings them back together. Dora, now married to Nick and mother to twins, goes back to work at Nightingale Hospital to support her family and help the war effort while Nick is fighting. Matron and Miss Hanley are still running the hospital and Dora's good friend Helen Dawson is the head Casualty nurse.

The VAD had such a strong role in the war effort and here we also meet young volunteer nurses in this story, rather than the student nurses of the past.

The Nightingale nurses are not spared the horrors of war as its effects are felt far and near. But, together the realities of life in a war zone bring the nurses together and friendships are forged and previously unknown strengths are discovered.

I love the Nightingale stories. This series is my indulgence. It's like a British soap opera and I can't get enough of it. I don't want it to end. Ever!

This book brought all the characters together, they tidied storylines of characters that you knew from the beginning as well as introduced new ones. Since it was a book set during the Blitz in London you can only imagine few characters were left unscathed in some way. It was a really good book from this series.

I was very pleased to find this book, as I had read the first five books in the series long ago, and didn't know that more had been added. This book was as enjoyable as the others. I especially like books about The World War II era! I look forward to reading the next book.

The Nightingale series is excellent. I enjoyed the character development and following the lives of the main characters throughout the books. Each book may be read independently, but much better when read in order. I strongly recommend the books. If you enjoy the "Call the Midwife" books, you'll love this as well.

Nightingales at War produced a war within myself. Should I read all of it or just stop. On the plus side, it was well researched and historically accurate. I didn't have a connection with the main character or any of the other characters. I had high hopes. DNF.

Nice light read I have read all six books but I wish they would keep with the original names. For instance in the first book Charlie was Charlie Denton then it was Charlie Dawson. In this book Effie and Conor were from Kilkenny in all the other books it was Killarney. I just find that annoying

This time the range of events just before the war and during it showed what became the true dedication of these women and men. Living through such times left a legacy to the nursing profession. A really good read that again was both interesting, absorbing and enjoyable.

I wanted to continue the series and I noticed the mentioning of new characters and thought oh no, I want to continue the last book's story. But this was even better than I thought. The author knows how to tell a story.

5.0 out of 5 stars The continuing saga of the Nightingale Hospital
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 12, 2020

I enjoyed this book, perhaps not as much as the previous ones in the series but enough to still give it 5*. The story continues with life at the Nightingale Hospital having to cope with the never ending bombing of the East End and sadly the hospital doesn’t come out of it unscathed. There is the usual sadness and some happy endings and this well researched book really gives the reader a flavour of how difficult it was for the nursing and medical staff during the war. Of course there’s the patients mainly service men who had volunteered to fight but sadly came home to the Nightingale to be cared for because of their terrible injuries. Some would succumb to their injuries sadly but this is sensitively written. One of the reasons I love Donna Douglas’s books is that the stories don’t just concentrate on hospital life but the lives of the Nurses, Doctors, Ancillary Staff and their families and over time I feel as though I know them so well. This book also introduces the reader to new characters. Although this book can be read as a stand-alone I would recommend reading the series in the order it was written, it’s probably the best way of getting to know all of the characters and their history.

If you enjoy hospital/training war romances these are excellent but I do wish the books were numbered the ending of this one left me wondering but I did enjoy it.
