Novels featuring nurses are not altogether rare, but a novel
depicting the fictional meeting of the French writer Gustave Flaubert and a young Florence
Nightingale amidst the ancient ruins of Egypt was unimaginable
until author Enid Shomer brought this odd coupling to life. “The Twelve Rooms of the Nile” is a story-telling gem, and the fact
that the publisher (Simon and Schuster) sent a review copy to this humble nurse blogger has proven to be
a delight.
