Helen Zenna Smith: Not So Quiet . . ., Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Praised by the Chicago Sun-Times for its "furious, indignant power" and winner of the Prix Severigne in France as "the novel most calculated to promote international peace," this story offers a rare, funny, bitter, and undeniably feminist look at war and its effects on all those who take part.

First published in London in 1930, Not So Quiet . . . follows a group of British women ambulance drivers on the French front lines during World War I, surviving shell fire, cold, and their punishing commandant, "Mrs. Bitch"--even as their parents swell with pride that their girls aren't shirking their duty to king and country.
