Hedef Ve Hayallerin İçin Başarıya Gülümse - Sıtkı Aslanhan ücretsiz kitap indir

Casey Lam madebycasey — A Duty to the Dead is book one in the Bess Crawford series by Charles Todd. I actually read Book Two before Book One which you can do without getting lost between the stories. Bess Crawford is a British nurse aboard the hospital transport ship Britannic in 1916 when the ship hits a mine and sinks. Bess sustains a broken arm made much more serious by assisting in the rescue of one of her fellow nurses. That, plus having to wait for some time to receive good medical treatment, made the break much more serious and therefore very slow to heal. Because she cannot return to duty quickly Bess decides that she can't put off any longer making good on the promise she had made on a previous voyage to Arthur Graham before he died. Arthur had requested that Bess personally deliver a message to one of his brothers at his home in the small village of Owlhurst in Kent. The message....."Tell Jonathan I lied. I did it for Mother's sake. But it has to be set right." Bess goes to Owlhurst to meet Arthur's family and discovers that Authur's half-brother has been locked away in an asylum because of a grisly murder he committed when he was 14 years old. The more people Bess meets the more unsure she becomes about exactly what Arthur Graham's message meant and whether his brother Jonathan intends to do anything about Arthur's request. The descriptions of the settings aboard ship, during the rescue, and then in both London and Kent are first rate. The characters are all very well developed, from Bess right down to her landlady. Bess Crawford is well portrayed as a woman of 1916, a woman willing to take her place in society to do her very best to help along the war effort. She was a very enjoyable character for me to read about, using her intellect to reason her way through the problems she was facing, trying to make sense of events which had happened so many years before but which still effected so many lives. Can't wait to see what comes next in this series! I really enjoying following Bess. I've picked up the first 3 books in the Ian Rutlidge series written by Charles Todd and can't wait to start reading them.
