The Rose of Sebastopol
by Katherine McMahon
Do not allow the simple illustration of this cover to disillusion you from the novel's heart wrenching story. Mariella, the story's main character, grew up in a world where money was never an issue and beauty was a woman's most important attribute. Her comfortable life came crashing down when Britain entered the Crimean War and her lover, Henry, went to fight and her cousin and best friend, Rose, went to work as a nurse. Mariella could bare it no longer and when her pain got the best of her she decided to go look for Rose and Henry. What she discovered on her journey was worse than the dying men on the battlefield.
