War’s aftermath in 1951 New Orleans

Set six years after World War II, the novel links Laura Marino’s work at Charity Hospital with memories preserved in her wartime journal. Frances’s death brings those memories back into focus, spanning service in North Africa, the siege of Anzio, and a refugee camp in Italy. In the present, Laura faces grief and guilt alongside frustration at work and strain in her marriage. Her connection with Boyer, a wounded veteran, introduces a further complication. The book brings together wartime experience and the unsettled demands of life after the conflict, with loss, attachment, and the possibility of redemption running through both periods.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • For readers of historical fiction set during and after World War II.
  • For readers interested in nurses’ wartime experiences and the challenges of returning to civilian life.
  • For readers seeking fiction centered on grief, marriage, and complicated relationships.

Book overview

When the ghosts of war won't stay buried, a former Army nurse must find a way to heal-or risk losing everything.

 

In 1951 New Orleans, Laura Marino works as a nurse at Charity Hospital. She's been home from World War II for six years, but peacetime has brought its own challenges. She's frustrated at work, and her childless marriage to Nicholas, a surgeon she met in the Army, is strained.

 

Laura is devastated when news arrives that Frances, her best friend from the front, has taken her own life. Turning to the wartime journal she has kept hidden away, Laura is plunged back into memories of the bonds forged amid chaos on the front lines of North Africa, during the siege of Anzio, and at a refugee camp in Italy.

 

While her husband takes on an overseas assignment, Laura wrestles with her grief and guilt over Frances' death. Then she meets Boyer, a wounded veteran who shares her pain. Their connection is intense-and dangerous, threatening to upend her life entirely.

 

Triage is an intimate portrait of a woman's hard-won journey through love, loss, and a quest for redemption.
