The Lives of Stella Bain

Anita Shreve (Hachette, $39.99)

Waking up in a battlefield medical tent in 1916, a young woman doesn’t know where she is, how she got there, or even her own identity. Suffering from shell shock, Stella Bain continues her work as a nurse and an ambulance driver during World War I, until she is compelled to travel to London for answers about her past. Once there, exhausted and sick, she is taken in by surgeon August Bridge and his wife. Under the protective wing of August, she begins the long journey of healing, where a fluid history of images must converge in this memorable tale of adventure and romance.
