Review for Somewhere in France There's a Lily

Very delightful to read—a bird’s eye view into WWI’s medical side—the seemingly barbaric surgical and treatment practices that laid the foundation for outstanding medical achievements in the future. The terminology specific to the profession was made easy to understand, and I learned quite a bit! The female protagonist, Lily, struggles with being treated as a “second class” citizen because she is female, and it’s 1915. She is a strong character, and sexually aggressive men experience a nad-twisting at her hand, which is quite comical. Aside from illustrating women’s battle in the workplace and the importance of nurses, Arrandale treats us to several beautifully developing heterosexual relationships.
Regarding intimacy, the author leaves enough to the imagination to respect her readers. It was easy to immerse myself in that horse-drawn carriage time. I recommend ‘Somewhere in France There's a Lily.’
