Présentation de l'éditeur

One woman's true and heart-rending story of war, love and loss. Magdalene de Lancey fought to save her husband's life on the edge of the battlefield at Waterloo. American-born William was one of the first professional officers in the British army and the Duke of Wellington's Chief of Staff. After his death, Magdalene wrote this honest and heart rending account of her struggle to nurse him back to health as a letter to her brother. It thus has a striking immediacy and any woman who has ever nursed the man she loves will empathise with Magdalene's fears and hopes and sorrow.
