Descriere magazin:
This powerful, uplifting, and deeply personal novel (Kristin Hannah, #1 NYT bestselling author of The Four Winds ), at once a heart-wrenching wartime drama (Christina Baker Kline, #1 NYT bestselling author of Orphan Train ) and a moving and graceful tribute to heroic women ( Publishers Weekly , starred review), asks the question: What if a friendship forged on the front lines of war defines a life forever? In the tradition of The Nightingale and Transcription , this is a searing epic based on the magnificent and true story of courageous Red Cross women. In 1943, Irene Woodward abandons an abusive fiancé in New York to enlist with the Red Cross and head to Europe. She makes fast friends in training with Dorothy Dunford, a towering Midwesterner with a ferocious wit. Together they are part of an elite group of women, nicknamed Donut Dollies, who command military vehicles called Clubmobiles at the front line, providing camaraderie and a taste of home that may be the only solace before troops head into battle. After D-Day, these two intrepid friends join the Allied soldiers streaming into France. Their time in Europe will see them embroiled in danger, from the Battle of the Bulge to the liberation of Buchenwald. Through her friendship with Dorothy, and a love affair with a courageous American fighter pilot named Hans, Irene learns to trust again. Her most fervent hope, which becomes more precarious by the day, is for all three of them to survive the war intact. Taking as inspiration his mother\'s own Red Cross service, Luis Alberto Urrea has delivered an overlooked story of women\'s heroism in World War II. With its affecting and uplifting portrait of friendship and valor in harrowing circumstances, Good Night, Irene powerfully demonstrates yet again that Urrea\'s gifts as a storyteller are prodigious (NPR).
