Description
The Quintland Sisters A Novel by Shelley Wood is a historical novel that tells the story of five identical quintuplets born in 1934 to French farmers in Northern Ontario. From the perspective of a midwife in training, Emma Trimpany assists at their birth and cares for them through their perilous first days. As the government decides to remove the babies from their parents and make them wards of the British king, Emma signs on as their nurse. The Dionne quintuplets become a sensation, attracting thousands of visitors who marvel at their sameness. However, Emma sees each girl as unique and records her observations in private journals. As the fight over custody and revenues escalates, Emma is torn between her life in the sanctuary of Quintland and the wider world on the brink of war. Steeped in research, this novel explores themes of love, heartache, resilience, and enduring sisterhood, set against one of the strangest true tales of the past century.
