Description

Weird-Eye shoulders her unflattering nickname with resilience, relying on her vivid imagination to sustain her work as a midwife bringing newborns into the world. As World War II ravages Finland, she finds herself drawn to Johannes Angelhurst, a handsome and otherworldly war photographer working for the SS. Volunteering to serve as a nurse at the prison camp where he is assigned, Weird-Eye must navigate the brutality of the camps and the desolate beauty of the Arctic landscape. From the harsh realities of the prison camp to the breathtaking spectacle of the aurora borealis above the Arctic Sea, The Midwife tells a story of love, loss, and survival. As World War II draws to a close, Weird-Eye wages her own deeply personal battles, finding solace in the beauty of nature and the human spirit. This novel is set against the backdrop of one of history's most tumultuous periods, offering a powerful and poignant portrayal of life, love, and resilience in the face of adversity.
