520    A novel set in 1918 Dublin offers a three-day look at a 
       maternity ward during the height of the Great Flu 
       pandemic. 
520    In an Ireland doubly ravaged by war and disease, Nurse 
       Julia Power works at an understaffed hospital in the city 
       center, where expectant mothers who have fallen sick are 
       quarantined into a separate ward to keep the plague at 
       bay. Into Julia's regimented world step two outsiders, a 
       woman doctor who is a rumored Rebel, and a teenage girl, 
       Bridie, procured by the nuns from their orphanage as an 
       extra set of hands. At first, this Bridie seems unschooled
       in life, she makes up a bed with only the rubber mat and 
       savors the weak tea and barely edible porridge from the 
       hospital kitchen. But in the intensity of this ward, over 
       three brutal days, Julia and the women come together in 
       unexpected ways.
