Matrons and madams

Johnston, Sharon 1943- (author.). Canadian Electronic Library (Firm), (distributor.).

Summary: Clara Durling, a British widow of the First World War, arrives in Canada as the new superintendent of the Lethbridge Hospital just as wounded soldiers stream home. Lily Parsons is a young, widowed school teacher from Nova Scotia who ends up in the same city, managing a brothel called The Last Post. The lives of these two women unexpectedly intertwine when Clara, in the heat of local politics and responding to the highest incidence of venereal disease in the province, establishes the first venereal disease clinic in the province, with Lily's help. Lily and Clara must confront the city's conservative thinkers to bring help and compassion to wounded veterans.
