Stella Bain -- Anita Shreve

<b>An epic story, set against the backdrop of World War I, from bestselling author Anita Shreve.</b> <p/> When an American woman, Stella Bain, is found suffering from severe shell shock in an exclusive garden in London, surgeon August Bridge and his wife selflessly agree to take her in. <p/> A gesture of goodwill turns into something more as Bridge quickly develops a clinical interest in his houseguest. Stella had been working as a nurse's aide near the front, but she can't remember anything prior to four months earlier when she was found wounded on a French battlefield. <p/> In a narrative that takes us from London to America and back again, Shreve has created an engrossing and wrenching tale about love and the meaning of memory, set against the haunting backdrop of a war that destroyed an entire generation.<br><br><b>Author:</b> Anita Shreve<br><b>Publisher:</b> Little Brown and Company<br><b>Published:</b> 11/12/2013<br><b>Pages:</b> 272<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Hardcover<br><b>Weight:</b> 1.05lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 9.30h x 6.10w x 1.00d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780316098861<br><br><b>Review Citation(s): </b><br><i>Library Journal Prepub Alert</i> 06/01/2013 pg. 78<br><i>Kirkus Reviews Fall Preview</i> 08/15/2013 pg. 14<br><i>Publishers Weekly</i> 08/26/2013<br><i>Kirkus Reviews</i> 09/01/2013<br><i>Romantic Times</i> 11/01/2013 pg. 40 - Excellent<br><i>Library Journal</i> 11/01/2013 pg. 83<br><i>People Weekly</i> 11/25/2013 pg. 56<br><i>Shelf Awareness</i> 11/26/2013<br><i>BookPage<
