Review:

Although this nonfiction book is written with challenging vocabulary and skillful, complex writing, it has high entertainment value. Richards is a master storyteller. In this book, she brings Florence Nightingale and her time period to life through lively, wonderful writing. I have loved many of Richards’ fiction books, but I was impressed that, even in a nonfiction book, she wove in her witty sense of humor. This book is definitely one of my top picks. I highly recommend the Audible version of the book.

This book is integrated with The Good and the Beautiful High School 3 Language Arts Course. This book is also available for purchase as a PDF set at goodandbeautiful.com.
