Key Specifications

Who It's For
Readers who devour emotional wartime fiction like Kristin Hannah's The Nightingale will be captivated by the midwife's courage and compassion. It's also a great pick for book clubs interested in women's roles during war, as the midwife perspective offers a unique lens. Additionally, history buffs who enjoy accurate depictions of the Irish experience in WWII will find plenty to appreciate.
