The Bitch of Balaclava
or The Nightingale Rose
by Patricia Henritze
Moving seamlessly between
the devastation of the Crimean War
and the luxuries of Victorian London,
an imagined Florence Nightingale
challenges the powerful
and acquires the nickname “bitch”
alongside her iconic “lady with the lamp".
