We meet Nora a midwife who trained in Italy and then moved to London.
She was readily accepted in Italy, but not in London. The male doctors didn’t want her around even though she was excellent at her job.
We follow Nora as she delivers many babies safely and then cholera breaks out.
Beautiful writing and a determined woman during the time where women had to struggle to be known for their skills.
It was a bit slow, but the characters will keep you reading. Nora will be your favorite because she didn't give up. 4/5
Thank you to the publisher for a copy of this book. All opinions are my own.
