But is there more to Alice than meets the eye? Alice promises to help her give birth to a healthy baby and to prove the physician wrong.Īs Alice is drawn into the witchcraft accusations that are sweeping the north-west, Fleetwood risks everything by trying to help her. Then she crosses paths by chance with Alice Gray, a young midwife. When Fleetwood finds a letter she isn’t supposed to read from the doctor who delivered her third stillbirth, she is dealt the crushing blow that she will not survive another pregnancy. But as mistress of Gawthorpe Hall, she still has no living child, and her husband Richard is an anxious for an heir. Fleetwood Shuttleworth is 17-years-old, married and pregnant for the fourth time. We had lots of thoughtful and fun in-depth discussions during the course of reading the book. This was a buddy read with my friend Pauliina The Bookaholic Dreamer.
