About This Novel

After the Battle of Britain, wounded air force soldiers were sent to a small town in Sussex, England for medical treatment. In this town, these pilots who were "smashed, burned, and boiled" in the war jokingly called themselves McIndore's "guinea pigs", which also became a special code name. The author Liz Boesky grew up in this small town in southern England. However, for her at a young age, those horribly disfigured faces became an indelible shadow in her childhood memories. Over sixty years old, Liz returned to her long-lost hometown and tried to reconcile with the memories of that year. As a senior reporter, Liz began to look for surviving Air Force casualties - those "guinea pigs" who were still alive, as well as some nurses who had cared for these wounded. Nurses have played such an important role in enabling the wounded to regain their confidence and return to society. However, there are many unknown stories behind them, and these stories have also affected many people's subsequent lives.
