Description
In the year 1348, childbirth was the most dangerous moment of a woman's life — and one woman stood between the mother and the grave. Meet Maude, the midwife: keeper of ancient knowledge, master of herbs and healing hands, trusted by the whole village and watched with suspicion by the Church.
Follow her from the midnight knock at the door through the long hours of labor — the carved birthing stool, the prayers and silver charms, the crisis when the baby comes wrong, the terror of childbed fever, and the afterbirth that must come out whole. Then enter the midwife's hidden world: the emergency baptisms the Church permitted her, the oath she swore before the mayor, the witch-hunters who named midwives in the Malleus Maleficarum, and the barber-surgeons who tried to take her place.
