The Winter Soldier

"In this novel set during WWI, a young medical student named Lucius joins the military and finds himself in a remote outpost where he is expected to be in charge. With virtually no medical experience, he has to treat unspeakable injuries under hideous circumstances. At his side is a nurse, Sister Margarete, who is more his mentor than assistant. As the two work together, a bond grows between them, but then Lucius decides to take a shellshocked solider under his wing — a decision that turns into a life-altering mistake. This is a great war novel, plunging you into the chaos of conflict and the unexpected consequences of love that begins amid that chaos."
