Narrative During Books The Winter Journey (Morland Dynasty #20)
1851 - The Mid-Victorian era; The Great Exhibition; The Crimean WarThe Great Exhibition brings all the Morlands to London - including a cousin from America. Charlotte is using her wealth and social position to build a hospital, and, aware of how badly sick people are nursed, defies convention to train a team of female nurses. When the Crimean war begins, and her brother Cavendish departs with his cavalry regiment and her husband is called on to serve with the Intelligence Department, Charlotte goes too. Not all the soldiers' courage or high spirits can save them from the brutal horrors of war, and as the bitter Russian winter sets in, Charlotte's nursing skills are desperately needed as the army falls victim to cholera, dysentry, frostbite and gangrene.

This book is number 20 in the Morland family saga. I love these books so much! The family has grown on me and I love watching the characters develop as the story continues through the years. The historical research is spot on, and historical events are carefully integrated into the family story.

Hopefully Book 21 will have more of Fanny's story.

Once again the author's description of the battles that took place, this time during the Crimean war, make one feel as if you're right there with the troops every step of the way. Harrod-Eagles doesn't disappoint in taking you straight into the action. Loved it!

The Great Exhibition at Crystal Palace is a huge success, and various members of the Morland family attend. Charlotte is happy in her marriage, as is her cousin Benedict with his second wife; but Fanny's husband seems intent on isolating her away from her family, and controlling
i really enjoyed reading the continued adventures of the Morland family. It was especially nice to see how well Charlotte has adapted to her new world and yet still makes it her own. and i love her relationship with Oliver which is somehow modern, but still appropriate for the period (the way she finally realizes how others see her work in the Crimea is priceless). some of the stuff about the war got a little boring (Oliver's dispatches were a bit like reading a history book and i had a hard
