L'écriture de Teresa Messineo défend la justice sociale et les plus faibles, une passion qui alimente ses efforts littéraires. Son roman, 'The Fire by Night', témoigne de son amour combiné pour la médecine et la narration. Apprentie de toujours qui croit que l'on apprend de ses erreurs, la prose de Messineo est à la fois puissante et profondément ressentie. Sa voix distincte résonne avec urgence et conviction.
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.
