Summary "The Red Cross Girls with the Stars and Stripes" by Margaret Vandercook is a historical novel likely written in the early 20th century, around the time of World War I. The story revolves around Barbara Thornton and her experiences as a Red Cross nurse alongside her friends Nona, Eugenia, and others, who are all dedicated to aiding soldiers in the war effort in France. The narrative explores themes of patriotism, friendship, and the personal struggles of women during wartime. The opening of the novel introduces Barbara Thornton, who is preparing for visitors in her New York City drawing-room yet is unexpectedly filled with melancholy. As her guests arrive, the mood reveals the undercurrents of their past adventures as Red Cross nurses in Europe and the emotional toll of the war on their lives. The characters discuss their intentions to return to France, underscoring a sense of duty as well as the complexities of their relationships, particularly between Barbara and her husband, Richard Thornton, who is also grappling with his feelings about the war. Overall, this initial chapter sets the stage for the unfolding stories of courage, sacrifice, and the impact of war on personal lives and connections. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
