The Water Horse

Description

Catherine Carreg has grown up a tomboy, spending her days racing her ponies with Deio, the drover's son, in a small Welsh village. But Catherine is consumed by a longing to escape the monotony of village life and, with Deio's help, runs away to London. Alone in the unfamiliar bustle of the city, Catherine secures a position in Miss Nightingale's home for sick governesses. As the nation is gripped by reports of a war in the Crimea, Catherine volunteers as a nurse and her life changes beyond recognition. ISBN:9781409102656
