AN  IRISH HOSTAGE

Charles Todd

Charles introduces (or re-presents) the British nursing sister Bess Crawford as part of a series.

He writes well and tells a good tale  The setting is post ww11 when an English nurse is a passenger in a small plane to Ireland.

She is a cool heroine facing hostility. She came for the wedding of her Irish friend Eileen but the groom Michael goes missing. The story is set after the Rising, where the main push is for Home Rule.  An emotional and difficult adventure awaits Bess.
