Colleen McCullough's third novel is set on one of the Pacific islands at the end of the Second World War. Honour Langtry has been trusted with sole charge of Ward X, whose five inmates have had mental breakdowns in combat and each of whom, in his own way, is in love with Honour. Into their world comes a sixth patient, Sergeant Wilson who causes a highly charged emotional atmosphere and leads Honour to tragedy trapped between this obsession and her duty.

Work Description

To the battle-broken soldiers in her care, nurse Honour Langtry is a precious, adored reminder of the world before war. Then Michael Wilson arrives under a cloud of mystery and shame to change everything. A damaged and decorated hero, a man of secrets and silent pain, soon he alone possesses Honour's selfless heart-inciting tense and volatile passions that can only lead to lealousy, violence, and death.
