A review by leemac027
The Daughters of Mars by Thomas Keneally
3.0
Naomi and Sally are sisters, competitive and perhaps a bit wary of each other. They are both nurses, Naomi in the city and Sally in the country. With the outbreak of World War I, they both sign up but there is a secret they hold.
The book follows their experiences in the war - the horror, stress, conflict, loves and turmoil. Like a few others I was not immersed in the text and found it a bit disconnected from the action, so I did not form a connection to the characters as I normally am when reading a Thomas Keneally novel.
