Summary
"Vienna, 1914. Lucius is a twenty-two-year-old medical student when World War I explodes across Europe. Enraptured by romantic tales of battlefield surgery, he enlists, expecting a position at a well-organized field hospital. But when he arrives--at a commandeered church high in a remote valley of the Carpathian Mountains--he discovers a freezing outpost ravaged by typhus. The doctors have fled, and only a mysterious nurse named Sister Margarete remains. As the war rages across the winter landscape, he finds himself falling in love with the woman from whom he must learn a brutal makeshift medicine. One day, an unconscious soldier is brought in from the snow, his uniform stuffed with strange drawings. He seems beyond rescue, until Lucius makes a fateful decision that will change the lives of doctor, patient, and nurse forever"--Provided by publisher
