Florence Nightingale
By the swaying light of a paper fanoos, Florence Nightingale moves through the wards at Scutari in 1854. This quiet historical story follows her from a privileged English childhood to the Crimean hospital, where orderly care, clean linen and painstaking records became a new kind of medicine.

Warm and clear, with an unhurried steadiness, a voice that settles a busy mind without ever rushing it.
