'An immensely powerful, cannot-look-away novel of heart and bone
and muscle and blood. The war novel has a rival... and it is
breath-taking.' The Herald Lore arrives at the hospital alone: no
husband, no partner, no friends. She is in labour. Franckline, a
nurse in the maternity ward, herself newly pregnant, is assigned to
her care. Over the spiralling course of eleven hours, the women are
thrown together into a fierce, physical intimacy, and they begin to
force one another to reckon with their pasts and their futures.
Lore must disentangle herself from a love triangle; Franckline must
move beyond deep traumas; both must prepare themselves for the
fear, joy, anguish and awe of motherhood.
