My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Published: July 2020
In 1918 in Ireland, they are going through the Great Flu Pandemic. Nurse Julia is in charge of the expectant mothers who have this awful disease. While the disease ravished the country and the world, Julia with the help of inexperienced Bridie, tries to help these mothers the best she can. Full of sadness and a little close to home right now, I don't think I was truly ready for this book.
100 years ago, our world went through a pandemic which is now just the flu. A vaccine was eventually created for this that needs to be taken annually. Just this past year we have gone through another pandemic of Coronavirus or COVID-19.
This book isn't quite what I was expecting it to be. The focus was mainly on women who were pregnant with the disease. Will they survive? Will their children? Will the nurses and doctors that are caring for them? Even though I didn't live back when this story took place, I could definitely put myself in this story with what is going on in our world right now.
