A review by alissabar
The Rose of Sebastopol by Katharine McMahon

4.0

I enjoyed this historical novel set during the Crimean War. I really knew practically nothing about that war before reading this book. It was frustrating to read about the medical procedures of the time and know that years later our knowledge of medicine would be improved and so many of those men would have been saved. I liked the personal change that Mariella, the main character, made throughout the book. I felt the book had an abrupt ending and I was left wanting more. I have had to imagine what future the characters might have had.
