Show Notes
Host Jo Reed and AudioFile’s Robin Whitten discuss an immersive audiobook about a pandemic and civil unrest — in 1918. Nurse Julia Power grapples with a web of concurrent social issues as she cares for patients in a Dublin maternity ward. Emma Lowe’s beautiful Irish lilt brings the story to life. Julia is united with two other seemingly dissimilar women, a physician with ties to the Irish independence movement, and a vibrant young volunteer from a Catholic boarding house. As circumstances around the women intensify, so will listeners’ investment in the outcome of their stories. Published by Hachette Audio.
