Good Night Irene: A Novel Book Summary
This novel is both a heart-wrenching wartime drama and a tribute to heroic women. It explores the idea of how a friendship formed during war can shape a person’s life forever. The story is based on the true experiences of brave Red Cross women, similar to other notable books like The Nightingale and Transcription.
Critics have praised the author’s skill and enthusiasm in capturing the essence of life. In 1943, Irene Woodward leaves her abusive fiancé in New York to join the Red Cross and travel to Europe. During training, she becomes close friends with Dorothy Dunford, a witty Midwesterner. Together, they are part of a special group of women called Donut Dollies, who provide support and a sense of home to soldiers on the front lines.
After D-Day, Irene and Dorothy join Allied soldiers in France and face danger during events like the Battle of the Bulge and the liberation of Buchenwald. Through her friendship with Dorothy and a romance with an American fighter pilot named Hans, Irene learns to trust again. Her greatest hope is for all three of them to survive the war.
Inspired by his mother’s service with the Red Cross, author Luis Alberto Urrea sheds light on the overlooked heroism of women in World War II. Good Night, Irene portrays the power of friendship and bravery in challenging circumstances, reaffirming Urrea’s reputation as a gifted storyteller.
