Interesting book that took place during the outbreak of the 1918 Flu Pandemic. It focused around the maternity ward that handled pregnant women who came down with the flu. The book focuses on 3 days of craziness handled by one woman with the help of an inexperienced aide and a female doctor hiding from the police. Lots of craziness happens in those days. Some happy, some sad. There are some descriptive medical issues that might turn some stomachs but not too bad. The story moved along and the characters were great, especially Bridie. Enjoyed the book even though it was quite depressing.
