Born Nigerian royalty, Princess Adenrele Ademola trained as a nurse at Guys Hospital in London and stepped up to serve the people of Britain when war broke out facing both the devastation of the Blitz and the prejudice of some of the people she was trying to help.
80 years later, Ades great-niece Yemi arrives in London clutching the Princesss precious diaries and longs to uncover the mysteries they hold
A richly-detailed, compelling historical novel shining a light on a hidden voice of WW2 and one womans courageous contribution to Britain
A wonderful unfurling of such an important history I was utterly absorbed in Ade's life! Chioma Okereke Readers love A Nurses Tale:I must admit I knew very little about Nigeria, its history, culture, heritage and traditions and now I doa great debut novel and perfect for readers who enjoy historical fiction full of long buried secrets, and learning about different cultures and I want to make Jollof rice
This is one of the best historical books I have read in a long time
Incredible to learn more about Nigeria and the repercussions of the war on the country. The writing itself is magic, the perspective unique and the characters beautifully written. This is a special novel, one to cling to and savour
Dont miss this fantastic true story! Awonubi not only shares history, she honours Princess Ademolas legacy and champions the recognition she deserves
