Northern nurse Book

Set in the late 1920s, this is the true story of an Australian born nurse who comes to Labrador to work. Astounding adventures. "Every word of it I enjoyed, and I don't think that there is a single change to be made in it," wrote legendary editor Maxwell Perkins when he read the manuscript of Northern Nurse in 1941. The public agreed, keeping it on the New York Times best-seller list for 17 weeks. By turns lyrical, comic, and genuinely moving, Northern Nurse tells the story of Australian nurse Kate Austen and her adventures at Labrador's Grenfell Mission.
