Paul Davis forgets things. Why he walked into a room. Who he spoke to, & what they said. What he promised his wife he'd do. Sometimes it's too much, & the panic takes hold.

But he wasn't always like this.

Eight months ago, Paul was attacked
- left for dead after seeing something he shouldn't have
- & has been piecing his life back together ever since.

During the days, therapy helps. But at night, he hears noises that no one else can. That nobody believes. Sometimes he thinks someone is in the house. Other times, the sounds are far stranger.

In the early 1960s, Anne Watts was a newly qualified nurse, eager to use her skills. Her father expected her to work locally, not too far from North Wales, where Anne had grown up, & to then settle down & have children. However, Anne had inherited her father's adventurous spirit & at the first opportunity she set sail for Canada to work in the remote stations in the frozen north of the country. She found a placement easily, among the indigenous Inuit people. With the whole world to explore, Anne later headed for Alice Springs in the Australian outback. She speaks eloquently about what it was like to be a nurse & midwife among a tough cattle-ranching community who lived in close proximity with Australia's Aboriginal people. Anne's eyes were opened to their skills at surviving the harshest of environments, but also to the prejudices they suffered. Forty years later, Anne returned to both countries to see how life has changed in Eskimo Point & Alice Springs, & what has become of its people & landscape. ...

This book, the second in a series of four unique War Diaries produced in conjunction with the Imperial War Museum, will tell a story that is rarely heard: the experiences of a nurse working close to the Western Front in the First World War. Incredibly, Edith Appleton served in France for the whole of the conflict. Her bravery & dedication won her the Military OBE, the Royal Red Cross & the Belgian Queen Elisabeth medal among others. Her diary details with compassion all the horrors of the 'war to end wars', including the first use of poison gas & the terrible cost of battles such as Ypres, but she also records what life was like for nurses & how she spent her time off-duty. There are moments of humour amongst the tragedy, & even lyrical accounts of the natural beauty that still existed amidst all the destruction. ...
