Victoria’s War is a three-book WWII series by Fenella J. Miller centred on a nurse named Victoria and the demands of wartime medical service. The series has an unusual publication history: two books, The Nurse’s War and The Nurse’s Homecoming, appeared in 2024, while a third entry, Shadows and Reunited, was published earlier in 2019, suggesting the series was assembled or repackaged over time.
The Nurse’s War places Victoria in the thick of wartime medical work, where the pressure on nursing staff was constant and the work often harrowing. The Nurse’s Homecoming follows her return, dealing with the difficulty of readjusting to civilian life after years shaped by crisis. Shadows and Reunited addresses the longer aftermath, where old relationships and unresolved questions surface.
Miller’s nursing setting gives the series a different perspective on the war from her ATA pilot or land girl series. Nurses were on the front line of a different kind of emergency, and the emotional weight of that work carries through the books. For readers interested in WWII fiction focused on medical service and its personal costs, Victoria’s War offers a compact three-book arc.
