Thanks. Not on this but I do know her. I’ve been lucky enough to speak to the son of one of the nurses, who was a mindfield of information.

Jenny O’Brien @scribblerjb.bsky.social · Apr 7

Trying to get inside the head of a nurse…
One who worked 80 years ago in occupied Guernsey.

I’m a nurse too. But her world? Nothing like mine.

No electronics. Often no electricity. No dressings. Few medicines. Little food.
Just instinct, and decisions no one could train for.

If you could spend just one more day with someone, who would it be?

I'm excited to reveal the title of my next novel, out later this year!
It's about Lili, her best friend Em, and an unexpected friendship with a man called Dylan.
The setting is winter in Cornwall⛵️❄️
