Summary: "Aunt Jane's Nieces in the Red Cross" by Edith Van Dyne is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows three courageous American girls—Patsy Doyle, Beth, and Maud Stanton—who decide to leave their comfortable lives behind to nurse wounded soldiers during the tumultuous backdrop of World War I. This is not just a tale of adventure; it seeks to illuminate the horrors of war and the compassionate hearts of young women willing to sacrifice for the sake of others. At the start of the narrative, readers are introduced to Uncle John and his nieces at their cozy breakfast table, where discussions about the war and its victims ignite a passion within Beth to aid those suffering from the conflict. The arrival of Maud, who has trained as a nurse, is marked by exciting news of her plans to join the war effort through the Red Cross, igniting determination in her cousins to join her. This decision leads to a rapid series of preparations for their journey to Europe, including the intriguing proposition of using Uncle John’s yacht, the "Arabella", as a hospital ship. The opening sets the stage for themes of heroism, sacrifice, and the stark realities of war, promising an engaging read filled with emotional depth and poignant moments.
