La scrittura di Teresa Messineo promuove la giustizia sociale e gli underdog, una passione che alimenta le sue imprese letterarie. Il suo romanzo, 'The Fire by Night', è una testimonianza del suo amore combinato per la medicina e la narrazione. Un'eterna studentessa che crede che si impari dai propri errori, la prosa di Messineo è sia potente che profondamente sentita. La sua voce distintiva risuona con urgenza e convinzione.
A powerful and gorgeously written debut about two military nurses working on the front lines of WWII. THE FIRE BY NIGHT shines a light on the American women who were as brave as any band of brothers, but whose heroic roles in World War II have mostly been left unsung. Perfect for fans of Sara Gruen, THE NIGHTINGALE and ALL THE LIGHT WE CANNOT SEE, as well as military history buffs.
Red Cross nurse Diana Bolsena is desperate to return to the frontline of the war efforts. However, she finds herself stranded in Tuscany. When a German officer arrives searching for secrets that could change the course of humanity, Diana realizes she could do more good here than on the frontline... if she can get to the secrets first.
