Die Geschichte der Frau, die die Brooklyn Bridge erbaut hat. Der internationale Bestseller jetzt auf Deutsch. Während Emilys Weggefährtinnen für das Frauenwahlrecht auf die Straßen gehen, muss sie einen guten Eindruck bei der gehobenen New Yorker Gesellschaft machen. Denn ihr Ehemann Walsh verfolgt eine spektakuläre Vision: Er will die längste Hängebrücke der Welt über den East River bauen. Aber bereits im zweiten Jahr der Arbeiten an der Brücke erkrankt Walsh schwer. Fast erblindet und auf einen Rollstuhl angewiesen, macht er Emily zu seinem Statthalter auf der Baustelle. Und was als kaum zu bewältigende Bürde begann, erfüllt die tatkräftige junge Frau schon bald ganz und gar. Doch die Widerstände gegen eine Frau an der Spitze des Großprojekts häufen sich, und Walsh zieht sich immer stärker zurück. Emily muss entscheiden, was sie will – und was sie bereit ist, dafür zu opfern … »Ein herausragender historischer Roman.« Stewart O'Nan »Dieser wichtige historische Roman erweckt eine Frau zum Leben, die von Männern überschattet und von Geschichtsbüchern vergessen wurde.« Booklist »Woods fantastischer historischer Roman bleibt der Epoche treu und hat gleichzeitig einen starken Bezug zum heutigen Alltag von Frauen.« Publishers Weekly »Das ist toll beschrieben und macht Spaß zu lesen. Süffig, wie eine gute Flasche Wein!« WDR , 14.07.2021

"Based on a true story, The War Nurse is a sweeping historical novel by USA Todaybestselling author Tracey Enerson Wood that takes readers on an unforgettable journey through WWI France. She asked dozens of young women to lay their lives on the line during the Great War. Can she protect them? Superintendent of Nurses Julia Stimson must recruit sixty-four nurses to relieve the battle-worn British, months before American troops are ready to be deployed. She knows that the young nurses serving near the front lines will face a challenging situation, but nothing could have prepared her for the chaos that awaits when they arrive at British Base Hospital 12 in Rouen, France. The primitive conditions, a convoluted, ineffective system, and horrific battle wounds are enough to discourage the most hardened nurses, and Julia can do nothing but lead by example--even as the military doctors undermine her authority and make her question her very place in the hospital tent. When trainloads of soldiers stricken by a mysterious respiratory illness arrive one after the other, overwhelming the hospital's limited resources, and threatening the health of her staff, Julia faces an unthinkable choice--to step outside the bounds of her profession and risk the career she has fought so hard for, or to watch the people she cares for most die in her arms. Fans of Martha Hall Kelly's Lost Rosesand Marie Benedict's Lady Clementine will devour this mesmerizing celebration of some of the most overlooked heroes in history: the fierce, determined, and brave nurses who treated soldiers in World War I"-- Provided by publisher
