(3) YA Nineteen-year-old Elinor is sent to Afghanistan as a medic in the British military. There she befriends an American Navy SEAL and repeatedly encounters a mysteriously elusive Afghan girl. Massey, a former counter-terrorism consultant, brings an air of authenticity to this intense novel that explores the power of friendships formed in combat as well as war's effect on one young woman's idealism.
