Publisher's Summary
Macedonia, 1917. The great city of Salonika is engulfed by fire as all of Europe is ravaged by war.
Amid the destruction are those who have come to the frontlines to heal – surgeons, ambulance drivers, nurses, orderlies and other volunteers. Four of them – Stella, Olive, Grace and Stanley – are at the centre of Gail Jones’s extraordinary new novel, which takes its inspiration from the wartime experiences of Australians Miles Franklin and Olive King, and British painters Grace Pailthorpe and Stanley Spencer. In Jones’s imagination these four lives intertwine and change, each compelled by the desire to create something meaningful in the ruins of a broken world.

No story
I got 3/4 of the way though because the author is a great writer. Just not a great story teller. Rather than a story it felt to me more of five individual portraits -3women 1man 1city. The portraits revolved around a few events. There was minimal interaction between the characters and certainly no character development.
