"Noble-Sanderson presents a sensitive account of recovery following the crises of war, and it's particularly effective in how it anchors its story in domestic details. The book also raises intriguing questions about war, injustice and sexism without becoming didactic. A quiet but moving tale of recovery from the trauma of war." - Kirkus Reviews"Evoking the fragrance of lavender-scented fields, the sound of a flowing river, and buzzing bees, Gail Noble-Sanderson's prose is lush and impressionistic as she takes us from those first pre-war days of excellence and refinement, to the stark contrast of the battlefields of Verdun and the emptiness of Marie's house when she first arrives in Meuse. Noble-Sanderson's artful storytelling allows Marie the time to rail and resist, only to gradually realize that her heart and soul are indeed healing from the trauma of the battlefields." - Michael Bonacci, award winning poet

The Lavender House in Meuse presents an emotional, intriguing, and sensitive account of the crises of World War I and one woman's journey towards recovery and growth
Interesting story idea that could have been fabulous in the hands of a skilled author K. Kilmartin Oh, Marie How do we solve a problem like Marie?I had such high hopes for this book! The summary I read of it promoted it as a book about front-line nursing during WWI and the resulting trauma and grief left by the experience on this young nurse Marie. I'm always looking for first-person accounts and histories telling of those exper. "Intriguing atmospheric story following one woman in WW1" according to Portybelle. I was very intrigued by the beginning of this book - was it really about three past life experiences the author feels she has had or was that part of the story? I thought that the part of the story set in WW1 was the best part. Marie has had a privileged life but feels called to frontline nursing in the battlefields. The author wro. Mystica Varathapalan said This was a beautifully told story. This was a beautifully told story. Taking us through the quiet, sedate, protected childhoods of Solange and Marie Chagall and their Papa in Marseille was idyllic.
