Description
Edith Cavell was born in 1865 to a family of modest means. She grew up in rural Norfolk and went on to work as a governess before training as a nurse in London. As a nurse, Edith's duty was not just to care for her patients, but also to serve the soldiers who passed through her hospital during World War I. Despite the risks, she helped hundreds of men escape the war by giving them jobs and finding safe passage into neutral countries. Her bravery and selflessness ultimately led to her own tragic fate. Diana Souhami's biography sheds light on Edith Cavell's remarkable life, a testament to the power of compassion and courage in the face of adversity.
