Summary: "The Red Cross Girls in Belgium" by Margaret Vandercook is a historical fiction novel written in the early 20th century. The story features a group of four American Red Cross nurses—Eugenia, Barbara, Mildred, and Nona—who are engaged in humanitarian efforts during World War I. The narrative explores their courageous experiences as they navigate the complexities of war-torn Belgium, focusing on their individual stories, challenges, and relationships while they try to provide care for vulnerable civilians and soldiers. At the start of the book, the four girls have already spent months working in British trenches and southern France before arriving in Belgium. Their initial experiences are described in vibrant detail, including their interactions with a local countess, their differing personalities, and the development of friendships and tensions among them. As they confront the harsh realities of war—such as witnessing the plight of innocent Belgian people—each character struggles with personal dilemmas, such as Eugenia’s mysterious past, Barbara's loyalty to her friends, and Nona's quest to uncover her mother's history. The opening sets the stage for a profound exploration of sacrifice, friendship, and the human spirit in the face of adversity amid the backdrop of war. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
