This novel tells the heroic story of a brave woman in a world that would never be the same again. It is the story of Mariela, a Spanish nurse who arrives in Paris in 1918, during the final months of World War I. With her white uniform as her only shield, Mariela witnesses some key periods in twentieth-century history, from the horrors of the trenches to Berlin, to Moscow and the Russian front. She will also face the great epidemic that ravaged Europe during those menacing years: the Spanish flu, which claimed as many lives as the armies did.
