Sisters of the Great War

Visceral Tale Of Atypical Women. This is a tale of atypical women in a very atypical (well, not really) time, where Feldman does a remarkable job of showing the full realities of everything she portrays. Whether it be the one sister who wants to be a doctor and is willing to do whatever it takes to achieve that goal, the other sister who is comfortable around cars and not much else, or the war itself - in all of its gory, gritty details and mechanisms. Truly one of the more realistic novels I've seen of this period, even as it portrays women who were far from normal in that period. Very much recommended.
