Stella Bain (2013) by Anita Shreve



Stella Bain was nursing wounded soldiers on The Front during World War One when she lost her memory.  In an attempt to find out who she was she travelled to England.  Taken in by a doctor and his wife, she made some progress and when she regained her memory, she returned to America to be reunited with her family.  Complications arose.  She fought for her children and her own life.

An entirely readable story, but predictable and not as insigthful as many of the author's other novels.
