Description
Red Poppies by Lynette Rees is set against the backdrop of World War I and explores the challenges faced by women during this time. In 1916, Adele Owen, a young nurse from Merthyr Tydfil in South Wales, must navigate her ambitions to become a doctor amidst societal expectations. Adele's journey takes her to London, where she faces opposition from her male contemporaries at the Royal Free Hospital. However, an eminent surgeon recognizes her potential and offers to mentor her, leading to a dramatic turn of events as Adele is sent to work at a casualty clearing station in Ypres, Belgium. There, she must confront the harsh realities of war and make difficult choices about her future. As Adele navigates this treacherous landscape, two men vie for her attention, leaving her with an impossible decision. Will she survive the Third Battle of Ypres, also known as the Battle of Passchendaele?
