Book Overview
Letters From Egypt is Florence's only publication not concerned with nursing. The letters reveal her as an energetic and sympathetic young woman with her life before her---but in places it is difficult not to read more into her observations, as when she described the hardships of the nun with whom she travelled to Alexandria.

Letters from Egypt
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
Being a nurse I enjoyed reading more about Florence Nightingale the adventure tourist and spiritual woman!Having recently travelled in Egypt,it is amazing how much the Nile has changed in the last 150years and what a rarity an Englishwoman must have been to the locals in Florences time.Cruising the Nile is now a luxury trip,but one has to admire Florence for her stamina and ingenuity.A great insight into Egypt.
