«Amongst the many excellent entries for the Mslexia Novel Prize, this novel really stood out: a gripping and smartly executed double narrative full of surprises, with something serious to say about women's place in society and the strategies they employ to survive.»
Louise Doughty, bestselling author of <i>Apple Tree Yard</i>
«A vivid, engrossing mystery about a woman who can’t remember her own identity but knows with certainty how to deliver babies. The authentic medical details form a compelling picture of the precariousness of life in the mid 19th century, when childbirth could prove fatal for even the fittest of women. I was hooked!»
Gill Paul, bestselling author of <i>The Secret Wife</i>
«Atmospheric, haunting and intriguing. A compelling and beautifully written debut.»
Tracy Rees, bestselling author of<i> Amy Snow</i> and <i>The Rose Garden</i>
