The Irish midwife at war
Tinley, Seána2026
Large Print
Kathleen Gallagher is 16 when she shares her first kiss with Liam Flynn, the older brother of her best friend. The bells are ringing in the New Year and snow is falling: but despite the perfect romantic moment, Kathleen is resigned to the fact that nothing will ever happen between them. Three years later, it's 1939, and times are changing: Kathleen has trained as a handywoman - an uncertified midwife in West Belfast - and war is on the horizon. When a call goes out for volunteers to join the home front, Kathleen jumps at the chance to aid the ambulance service. She knows her handywoman expertise will be invaluable to the wider community. But when Liam also volunteers, the two of them are suddenly thrown together once more. As the Belfast Blitz rains chaos and destruction, the volunteers are pushed to their limits, and soon Kathleen learns a horrible secret. One that means she and Liam may never be able to make it out of the war together.
