For us it was Heaven |
This is a biography of an Englishwoman who worked as a nurse during the Spanish Civil War and who was probably the only Englishwoman to serve in the International Brigade, her name was Patience Darton. The story is both passionate and sad and shows what great fortitude she possessed. It is a part of history I did not really know about and at times it is quite frightening. Worth reading.
