I received this book last Christmas and loved it. Well done to Gwenda for saving all the letters, and to her and her companions for surviving so many adventures, and an extra well done to Barbara who turned the story into such an entertaining book. As a retired nurse myself I thought all the time I was reading it "why didn't I do that?" But my children reminded me that when I finished my training I went to Iran by bus and there met and eventually married the most wonderful man. It seems us nurses are an adventurous lot!! I would love to know what happened after they returned to UK and how their lives panned out.
