商品简介 England, 1919. Running from an abusive father, Kitty Weekes falsifies her background and obtains a job as a nurse to shell-shocked WWI veterans in remote Portis House in northern England. Although the matron sees through her ruse, she allows Kitty to stay. Strange things have been happening at the hospital and they're in desperate need of staff. Most mysterious of all is Patient Sixteen, a "confidential" case who never leaves his room. An inveterate rule-breaker, Kitty sneaks in and discovers Jack Yates, a famous war hero who led his troops "over the top" without losing a single man. In truth, while Jack was lauded and sent on tour to raise war bonds, his men were sent back into battle and all killed. Tormented by guilt and remorse, Jack has checked himself into Portis House. Now, as his relationship with Kitty deepens, he gains an interest in the disturbed and suffering patients, whose nightmares and visions seem to be connected to the family that once lived in Portis House and suddenly, inexplicably disappeared. As the nightmares and visions intensify and reach a crisis point, a flu epidemic engulfs the hospital. Many are evacuated, but Kitty and Jack stay behind to nurse those who remain and to confront the ghosts. But one patient has gone missing, a deeply disturbed possibly violent man who is especially haunted. What is the connection between the ghosts and the former owners of Portis House? Can Kitty and Jack save the patients they've come to care about? And can they overcome their own personal traumas and build a future together?
