Dublín, 1918. En una Irlanda devastada por la guerra y la llegada de la gripe española, la enfermera Julia Power trabaja incansablemente en una maternidad de emergencia. Con la ayuda de una joven huérfana voluntaria, Bridie Sweeney, y la doctora Kathleen Lynn, Julia lucha por salvar la vida de madres e hijos en un entorno marcado por el caos y la escasez de recursos. Esta conmovedora novela de Emma Donoghue explora la resiliencia femenina y la lucha por la vida en medio de una de las pandemias más mortíferas de la historia. A través de una narrativa intensa y claustrofóbica, la obra rinde homenaje a las mujeres que, en condiciones extremas, se enfrentaron al miedo para brindar esperanza y cuidados.
