'A fascinating story reflecting the past moving alongside the present day' USA Today Bestseller Glynis Peters

Born Nigerian royalty, Princess Adenrele Ademola trained as a nurse at Guy's Hospital in London and stepped up to serve the people of Britain when war broke out - facing both the devastation of the Blitz and the prejudice of some of the people she was trying to help.

80 years later, Ade's great-niece Yemi arrives in London clutching the Princess's precious diaries and longs to uncover the mysteries they hold...

A richly-detailed, compelling historical novel shining a light on a hidden voice of WW2 and one woman's courageous contribution to Britain

'A wonderful unfurling of such an important history ... I was utterly absorbed in Ade's life!' Chioma OkerekeReaders love A Nurse's Tale:
