Angel with a black wing
14.99 €
The novel begins in the 1880s in the slums of New York, where man is a wolf to man and where there is no place for compassion, honesty and Christian morality. Una Kelley is a thief and swindler and knows no other way to survive in this cruel world than by following her own set of rules. When Una is falsely accused of murder, she manages to escape and, under a false name, enter the newly opened Bellevue Hospital Nursing School, based on the principles of Florence Nightingale. She is not going to study at all, she just needs to lie down and hide from the police. However, as she works in the hospital, Una’s character changes, and she discovers the capacity for compassion and even self-sacrifice.
