Omschrijving
Inspired by a true story
Daughter
Midwife
Princess
‘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 Okereke
