About this eBook

To the student nurses at The Nightingale hospital, the ward sisters are heartless and frightening, with impossibly high standards. But the sisters have troubles of their own...

Violet

The new night sister is not all that she seems. Who is she and what dark secret is she hiding? As the mystery deepens, Sister Wren is determined to find out the truth.

Dora

The student nurse is struggling with her own secret, and with her heartbreak over Nick, the man who got away. A new arrival on the ward brings the chance to put a smile back on her face. But can she really get over Nick so easily?

Millie

Dora’s fellow student is also torn between the two men in her life. But then an unexpected friendship with an elderly patient makes her question where her heart – and her future – really lies.
As the nation mourns the death of King George V, it seems as if nothing is ever going to be the same again, especially for the women at the Nightingale.

The Nightingale Sisters by Donna Douglas is the second book in The Nightingales series. It picks up where the first book left off. The Nightingale Teaching Hospital has a new night sister named Violet Tanner. She seems to have a secret, though, so tries not to mingle with the other staff. Secrets, though, have a way of coming out. Dora, Millie, and Helen are busy with their lessons and working on the wards. Millie is engaged, but she is not sure he is the right man for her (shouldn’t she have thought of this before accepting his proposal). Dora is upset of losing Nick to another woman. Helen has her nose to the grindstone determined to do well in her studies (because of her tyrant of a mother). Life is busy for everyone at the hospital. Come check out life for the nurses and students in the 1930s at The Nightingale! I thoroughly enjoyed reading The Nightingale Sisters. It fascinating to read about life and nursing in the 1930s in England. I liked getting to revisit these characters and see how they are going. The author does a wonderful job bringing these characters to life. The book is well-written, engaging, and easy to read. I would recommend reading the first book in the series prior to enjoying The Nightingale Sisters. My only complaint is that the book ended too soon. Thankfully, there are more books in the series to read. I give The Nightingale Sisters 5 out of 5 stars. I received a complimentary copy of The Nightingale Sisters from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
