WAR AND PEACETIME
War and Peacetime is the third in Amanda Spottiswoode’s time travelling series. When Kate is thrown backwards from 1977 to 1913, she finds herself in a world where the lack of a simple antibiotic can result in a life threatening illness. A nurse in modern times, she ‘retrains’ and finds herself in the war zone of First World War France. There, a chance meeting rekindles the love she felt for her modern fiancé, who had died in a car accident. Along with her erstwhile maid and companion, she survives the privations of years under canvas nursing horribly maimed soldiers, before being struck down by the Spanish Flu. Barely surviving, she returns to Canada resigned to living her life in a bye-gone era, before a fateful incident changes her life once again. Set in the Interior of British Columbia and war torn Europe, Amanda once again explores the strange and impossible concept of living in an era not one’s own, while having a 100% knowledge of the future.
