Whatever It Takes,
by Emma Keating was a wonderful World War II nurse novel. It introduces you to
the feisty tomboy, Virginia Beverly- or Beaver as she is better known- and
follows her from her hometown, through her training, and then on the battlefield-
even to behind enemy lines. I must warn you, though, that the ending will keep
you on your toes until the last page. This book is full of quirky characters,
thrilling adventures, and surprises. The only flaw is some grammar errors, but
with a good dose of laughter, a sprinkling of thought-provoking themes, and a
touch of romance, it makes up for it all. Most of all, this book is a coming of
age story as a small town girl fights for her country and cares for its
soldiers- whatever it takes.
