Intriguing but dull and depressing at the same time. Well written but why is this author always telling such depressing stories. We had our own pandemic. Do we need to read about one 100 years earlier?

I like th writing style and am. It bothered about the lack of quotation marks. However the subject matter is quite dull. D boring. The author is obsessed with Ireland of years ago with digs here and there about the. Catholic church, attitude towards ‘fallen’ women, Magdalene laundries, Sinn Fein etc. it’s a weird book. I want to finish but am equally bored.

Female Protestant doctor in an age of male only doctors. Brother who has what we now call PTSD from Serving in WWI. Some advances in medicine. But still a depressing story of three days in a maternity/flu ward.

Since we’ve just gone through a pandemic albeit one with more info on how to cope than 1918 flu but the story is so depressing. Writing is good but her subject matter always disturbing, unnecessarily painful. Julia flat and just a mechanism for facts so far.
