March to the Sound of the Guns

A war story written in the perspectives of 5 different characters, ranging from experienced war leader to young adults who had barely graduated from school.

I found it difficult to read this book, as it started off really slowly and did not catch my attention. However, the chapters about Nelle, the nurse were really interesting to me. It showed a troublesome character who came from a fairly well off background, and through the course of the war, displaying her inner strength and kindness.

Never ended up finishing this book, as skipping chapters to the ones about Nelle sort of got me confused from time to time, but wasn't too keen on reading it from the beginning and not skipping anything again. Although I really don't know what the stories of the other characters are like, the chapters about Nelle were definitely good to read.
