This was such an interesting book and I found myself drawn in from the beginning. It was enjoyable to read about Domhildur's life, how she came to be a midwife, her life living in Iceland and how her Great Aunt was also a midwife and a huge influence on Domhildur's decision in also becoming a midwife.

Looking forward to reading more by this author and would love for there to hopefully be a sequel to this book.
