Nicole

At the outbreak of World War I, Dr. Nicole Mangin mistakenly receives an enlistment order in which she is mistaken for a man. Instead of revealing her true identity, she introduces herself and becomes the only woman to serve as a medic in the French army throughout the entire conflict. After meticulous documentation and several years of research, the Basque writer Virginia Gasull offers readers a historical novel that highlights the work of the sanitarians in the First World War and masterfully recreates the warlike atmosphere of those years and the role played by women like Nicole.
