Résumé
The Third Journal of Hannah Trevor, Midwife 6 November, the year 1786 I am near four months with Daniel Josselyn's child. I own, I am afraid to wed...
With the American War of Independence still fresh in people's minds, the small town of Rufford in Maine is on the brink of anarchy.
Ironically, Hannah Trevor, the town's midwife, is finally discovering some peace and stability after years of turmoil. For, already with child, Hannah is soon to marry her lover Daniel Josselyn and become mistress of Mapleton Grange. But there is trouble looming - Dr Samuel Clinch has petitioned the Magistrate's Court to bring charges against Hannah over the death of a patient.
So imagine Hannah's horror when, out walking with Daniel, she comes upon Clinch's bloated and burnt body, a bullet wound in his chest. And why does Daniel reel back at the sight of the corpse, muttering 'What have I done?'...?
'Lawrence constructs a dark and dangerous world filled with ominous secrets and with public violence... an involving, provocative story'.
