This was first published in England in 1918 -- and has never been published here. Today it reads as an indictment of war; then it probably stirred the sympathies and patriotism. An intimate, informal diary of the writer's personal experiences in a hospital for the war victims, vividly done and extremely good reading. Not an easy book to place, except that the wide popularity of the novel, National Velvet, has won the author a receptive audience, who will want the chance to know her better.
