Résumé
WINNER OF THE 2011 IPPY BRONZE MEDAL FOR REGIONAL FICTION"Maura Hanrahan writes powerfully of the pain and joy of motherhood and ultimately delivers a mighty portrait of women's lives writ large across the blue of sea and sky. I read it in great gulps. "-Erica Eisdorfer, author of The Wet Nurse's TaleOn the cusp of the Depression, Sheilagh Driscoll of isolated Rennie's Bay nearly dies while giving birth prematurely to baby Leah.
Sheilagh is attended by a traditional Mi'kmaq midwife, Mrs. Mary, as well as by Leah Clarke, a nurse-midwife from England. Baby Leah Mary survives but develops serious asthma, which requires treatment throughout her childhood. Traumatized by the birth and her daughter's chronic illness, Sheilagh learns about age-old ways of preventing pregnancy. The result is an awakening that impacts on Sheila's relationship with all the women around her, especially her younger sister Claire."Hanrahan offers an historian's account without moralizing, leaving it to the reader to decide if there is a right and wrong way for women to be." -Telegraph-Journal
