La escritura de Teresa Messineo defiende la justicia social y a los desfavorecidos, una pasión que impulsa sus esfuerzos literarios. Su novela, 'The Fire by Night', es un testimonio de su amor combinado por la medicina y la narración. Como aprendiz de por vida que cree que aprendemos de nuestros errores, la prosa de Messineo es poderosa y profundamente sentida. Su voz distintiva resuena con urgencia y convicción.
A powerful and gorgeously written debut about two military nurses working on the front lines of WWII. THE FIRE BY NIGHT shines a light on the American women who were as brave as any band of brothers, but whose heroic roles in World War II have mostly been left unsung. Perfect for fans of Sara Gruen, THE NIGHTINGALE and ALL THE LIGHT WE CANNOT SEE, as well as military history buffs.
Red Cross nurse Diana Bolsena is desperate to return to the frontline of the war efforts. However, she finds herself stranded in Tuscany. When a German officer arrives searching for secrets that could change the course of humanity, Diana realizes she could do more good here than on the frontline... if she can get to the secrets first.
