This collection of short stories explores how the First World War changed and shaped the lives of women forever. A courageous nurse risks her life on the Front Line; a young woman uncovers a spy in wartime London; and a grief-stricken sister comes to understand the heroism and sacrifice of the forgotten Indian soldiers.
Through these and other tales, War Girls presents a moving portrait of loss and grief, and of hope overcoming terrible odds.
