About this audiobook
Penguin presents the audiobook edition of Miss Nightingale's Nurses by Kate Eastham, read by Dorothy Lawrence.
Liverpool 1855. Ada Houston is alone.
Her grandfather has recently passed away and her brother is missing, last seen working on the Liverpool docks. Everyone assumes him to be dead.
But she will not give up hope.
Ada's determined search takes her to the Crimea, where she joins the team of Florence Nightingale's nurses. She may have set off looking for her brother, but along the way Ada finds friends, romance and a new purpose in her own life in the most troubling and difficult of places.
