Hospital de Sangre

En plena Segunda Guerra Mundial, el capitán y cirujano Richard Winter presta sus servicios en el norte de África. El horror de la contienda le convierte en un hombre cínico y escéptico.

Sin embargo, en medio del fragor y el caos de que vive rodeado, conoce en circunstancias dramáticas a una mujer que logra otorgar sentido a su vida y provocar un vuelco radical en su existencia aun en circunstancias tan extremas.

Frank G. Slaughter obtuvo un notable éxito con su serie de novelas de temática médica en tiempos de guerra. Sus amplios conocimientos de medicina así como su experiencia en el frente le permitieron crear tramas y personajes de hondo contenido humano.

Reviews

[Sergio · Rating 2 out of 5]

Un romanzo di poca consistenza, mieloso e noioso.

[David Vanness · Rating 4 out of 5]

Found this love story a very enjoyable read. I could write 50 lines telling the story but would rather tell why I like it so well. It was written during WWII & published 1944. My only medical training was as a 1st responder. The book go into a lot of the meds as practiced then. I found it quite interesting. And the story ends with Love winning and a nurse as the real hero.

Este libro fue un regalo y es realmente viejo, de hecho ni siquiera recuerdo muy bien su historia como para hacer una review como desearía pero puedo decir que vale la pena leerlo aunque nunca me sentí atraída por las historias de guerra.

Better than what I was expecting. Valiantly the book held together until the spine broke when I was finished. I will have to find another copy, because I would have kept this one. =-)
