COMP CLOSED: Caption this desert scene and WIN

This week, we’re giving away THREE copies of Pamela Hart’s brand new historical novel, The Desert Nurse. Pamela Hart’s previous book was The War Bride, and she is none other than AWC’s very own presenter, Pamela Freeman – a prolific award-winning Australian author with almost 40 books to her name!

The Desert Nurse follows the journey of 21-year-old Australian Evelyn Northey at the beginning of the 20th century. Desperate to become a doctor, she finds herself on the medical front lines in Egypt during World War I in this grand love story amid the scars of war.

Here’s a quick synopsis of the book:

From the casualty tents, fever wards and operating theatres; through the streets of Cairo during Ramadan; to the parched desert and the grim realities of war, Pamela Hart tells the heart-wrenching story of four years that changed the world forever.
