Hypothermia is set in 1940, in a German hospital for hereditary and
incurable diseases. A doctor (Erich) and his assistant (Lisa)
discover their patients, who had been sent on to other doctors for
further treatment, had really been the victims of the testing of
various torture (and often death) methods. It poses the question
'now that you know, what will you do?'
Bessie Quinn was an early 20th century New Woman, a mother living
her love story in the enchanted world of the Garden City. When she
died in the Spanish Flu epidemic of 1918-19, her shattered husband
abandoned her memory, belongings and life history. Her
disappearance reverberated down generations. Starting with only an
Arts and Crafts kettle, one photo and a linen smock, Ursula has
restored her grandmother to life. After long searches she found
Bessie in the Scottish Borders, eighth child of working-class Irish
parents who'd fled hunger after the Great Famine of the 1840s. This
biography of a poor family unearths hard journeys of love, luck and
loss, weaving historical fact with memory and imagination into a
compelling story.
