Excerpt from Shadow-Shapes: The Journal of a Wounded Woman, October 1918-May 1919
This book belongs to the nurses, the doctors, the friends who gathered about my hospital bed in France. Their beautiful kindness was as healing as their care, and I shall never be able to thank them for the part they gave me in the chimerical days which I saw reflected with such vividness in their faces.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a poignant and personal look at the experience of war-time Paris, not from the perspective of a soldier on the front lines, but from that of a civilian caught in the whirlwind of events. The author, a nurse working with wounded soldiers, meticulously records her own injuries and subsequent recovery, providing a visceral account of the physical and emotional toll of war. The book also offers a nuanced and insightful look at the way war transforms the lives of ordinary people, capturing the disillusionment and psychological dislocation of the Armistice period. The author observes the profound ways in which war disrupts not only individual lives but also the very fabric of society, as she encounters French civilians and American soldiers grappling with the devastation and uncertainties of their world. This captivating narrative reminds us of the lasting impact of war, not only on those who fight but also on those who live through its aftermath.
