Band of Sisters by Lauren Willig
5.0
Incredible. 5 stars. A stunning, sweeping tale of bravery, sisterhood, grit, and determination. I really really enjoyed this book. My eyes are burning from so much eReading (read this as a DRC, thanks for the Edelweiss approval WM!!) and I’m going to take a break from ebooks after this, but it was SO worth it.
I couldn’t stop thinking about this book, and I wanted to stay up and read it all last night (passed out around 11pm tho). This is an extraordinary story, based on the real life Smith College Relief Unit who headed to France during WWI to help with the war/relief + rebuilding efforts.
Parts of the book irrationally annoyed me (Maud can CHOKE, and also didn’t love Kate + Emmie’s continued misunderstandings) but I really loved the end, and all of the storylines tied together so nicely.
This book made me want to learn more about these amazing, incredible, real-life Smithies! I loved Kate and Emmie’s evolving relationship, and the dynamics between Kate and Julia (hell yeah for badass doctor Julia
