A Time of Light and Shadow by Ella Harvey is a page-turner book. It is the physical, visual, and romantic account of a female solo traveler back then. It is also the emotional account of a nurse who doesn’t hesitate to veer from serene sceneries to humanitarian devastation. The book is an escape for women who, then, didn’t have to mind their safety when walking around or meeting a stranger. Young travelers will be inspired by the author’s gained insights as she returns to India many years later. It is also a reminder that nursing is still a selfless vocation. This book will take you to more places than the story itself.
