Women's Fiction
IN 1915, Naomi and Sally Durance, two spirited Australian
sisters, join the war effort as nurses, escaping the
confines of their father’s farm and carrying a guilty secret
with them. Amid the carnage, the sisters’ tenuous bond
strengthens as they bravely face extreme danger and
hostility—sometimes from their own side. There is great humor and compassion, too, and the inspiring
example of the incredible women they serve alongside. In
France, each meets an exceptional man, the kind for whom she
might relinquish her newfound independence— if only they all
survive. At once vast in scope and extraordinarily intimate, The
Daughters of Mars is a remarkable novel about suffering and
transcendence, despair and triumph, and the simple acts of
decency that make us human even in a world gone mad.
