This is a fictional story that spans three days in Dublin during the 1918 influenza pandemic. It is told from the perspective of an Irish midwife. It is told in an engaging and captivating way and about 85% of the way through there is plot twist that I wasn’t expecting.
This book is out of my normal genre. I usually read mystery, crime, etc. This is set in Ireland in 1918. I really enjoyed it. The characters were strong women. Some survive, others don't. Good descriptions. Characters were likable and believable.

So for some, 3 stars is a bad rating but for me, 3 stars is that "I liked it". This is an apt description about how I felt about this book. I liked it but it likely won't be a top read for me this year. Set during the Flu epidemic in 1918 in Dublin, it sure gives the reader a taste of what it might've been like for women during this time. Definitely not an easy read to be sure.
