More About This Title The Winter Journey

English

In the Morland Dynasty series, the majestic sweep of English history is richly and movingly portrayed through the fictional lives of the Morland family. It is 1851, and the Great Exhibition brings all the Morlands to London—including a cousin from America. Charlotte is using her wealth and social position to build a hospital, and aware of how badly sick people are nursed, defies convention to train a team of female nurses. When the Crimean war begins, and her brother Cavendish departs with his cavalry regiment and her husband is called on to serve with the Intelligence Department, Charlotte goes too. Not all the soldiers' courage or high spirits can save them from the brutal horrors of war, and as the bitter Russian winter sets in, Charlotte’s nursing skills are desperately needed as the army falls victim to cholera, dysentry, frostbite, and gangrene.
