Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
The four Latimer sisters are famous throughout New South Wales for their beauty, wit and ambition. They have always been close; always happy. They thought this would never change. But then they left home to train as nurses, swapping the feather beds of their father's townhouse for the spartan bunks of nursing accomodation. And now, as the Depression casts its shadow across Australia, they must confront their own secret desires as the world changes around them. Will they find the independence they crave? Or is life - like love - always bittersweet?
Two sets of twins, the four Latimer sisters are as close as can be. Famous throughout New South Wales for their beauty, wit, and ambition, each vivacious young woman has her own dreams: Edda wants to be a doctor, Tufts wants to organize everything, Grace won't be told what to do, and Kitty wishes to be known for something other than her beauty. But stepping into womanhood in 1920s and 30s Australia, life holds limited prospects. So together they decide to enroll in a training program for nurses -- a new option for women of their time.
