The German Ward is the new novel from Pip Williams, the Adelaide Hills author of The Dictionary of Lost Words. It moves from Oxford to wartime France, but keeps her gift for finding the stories history left out.
In 1915, in a hospital ward for German prisoners of war at Etaples, English volunteer nurse Tilda Taylor and German doctor Hugo Henning fall into a love neither is allowed. More than a century later, a set of wartime drawings resurfaces and lets a researcher piece their story back together.
A tender, sorrowful novel about forbidden love, art and the things we choose to remember.
For readers of The Dictionary of Lost Words, Kristin Hannah's The Nightingale and Kate Morton.
