Description
In the heart of Dublin during the tumultuous year of 1918, Nurse Julia Power navigates a city besieged by both the Great War and a devastating influenza pandemic. Working in an understaffed hospital, Julia finds her world shrinking to the confines of a cramped maternity fever ward, where life and death hang in the balance. As she steps into a position of unexpected authority, her deeply held beliefs about life and the world are challenged, forcing her to confront the unknown. This gripping novel explores themes of resilience, love, and the profound impact of historical events on individual lives, all while delving into the era's anxieties about disease and the cosmos.
