La dama blanca

Somme Front, October 1916. After the attack on the Regina trench, signal officer J. R. R. Tolkien falls ill with Quintana fever. The conditions of extreme weakness in which he finds himself cause him to be evacuated to the number one hospital of the Red Cross, located in the Casino of Le Touquet-Paris-Plage. There he is cared for by volunteer nurse Gala Eliard, a fascinating aristocrat fleeing a stormy past and driven by the need to save the life of at least one man. The brief meeting between the two, which takes place during just eight days, will forever change the writer's creative world and light the spark that will inspire the creation of one of his most powerful characters, the elf Galadriel, and of whom she will be one of the greatest literary phenomena of the 20th century.
