Bestselling Australian author, Pamela Hart, tells the story of two deeply determined people who find the resilience of their love tested to its limits amid the Australian Army hospitals of World War 1 in Egypt. Her latest book, The Desert Nurse, shows just how much a young nurse, Evelyn Northey, will sacrifice to pursue her goal of studying medicine in a man’s world. In the casualty tents, fever wards and operating theatres of war this is a touching story of four years that changed the world and two people forever.

Author, Pamela Hart, is my guest today.
