Description:LOVE AND ITS ENEMIES is set in Spain during the Spanish Civil War, between the months shortly after the war’s outbreak in July 1936 and the fall of Barcelona in January 1939. Kate O’Donnell, a young Irish nurse from a conservative rural background, is devastated when she finds out that her boyfriend, Joey Maguire, has left abruptly for Madrid to fight in the civil war on the republican side. In an effort to be reunited with him, Kate volunteers her services to the Spanish Medical Aid Committee; however, on arriving in Spain she finds herself assigned not to a Madrid hospital as expected, but to a village backwater hundreds of miles from the capital. The story follows Kate’s attempts to surmount the difficulties of meeting Joey in war-ravaged Spain, and her deepening relationships with the members of her medical team, including two sympathetic English nurses, an authoritarian Australian matron and a committed Spanish surgeon. The increasing intensity of the war demands that Kate’s team relocates to field hospitals close to some of the war’s bloodiest encounters, putting almost unbearable strains on the team, and bringing Kate into conflict with some of her colleagues but closer to others. Ultimately, the novel narrates the physical and psychological journey of a young woman who, through the vicissitudes and brutality of war, is brought to confront the cultural and societal pressures that have shaped her, and see the world in other ways.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
