What an emotional ride this was. I really like books that take place in a short amount of time, this story was told over 3 days in a maternity/flu ward. Lots of current pandemic parallels that had me thinking of spring 2020. This book gripped me way more than I expected and the last section had me crying several times. It is a book about life and death and surviving when the world deals you a shitty hand.
