About this listen
Fleetwood Shuttleworth is 17 years old, married, and pregnant for the fourth time. But as the mistress at Gawthorpe Hall, she still has no living child, and her husband Richard is anxious for an heir. When Fleetwood finds a letter she isn't supposed to read from the doctor who delivered her third stillbirth, she is dealt the crushing blow that she will not survive another pregnancy.
Then she crosses paths by chance with Alice Gray, a young midwife. Alice promises to help her give birth to a healthy baby, and to prove the physician wrong.
As Alice is drawn into the witchcraft accusations that are sweeping the North-West, Fleetwood risks everything by trying to help her. But is there more to Alice than meets the eye?
Soon the two women's lives will become inextricably bound together as the legendary trial at Lancaster approaches, and Fleetwood's stomach continues to grow. Time is running out, and both their lives are at stake.
Only they know the truth. Only they can save each other.

marvellous beginning but faltered near the end
loved the glimpse of history through the take. the characters felt real and wholesome. but the plot had holes which spoilt the story for me a bit.

if its based on real story then i can understand
this story is not considered anywhere near scary according to me, it goes really boring and not that great from showing how pathetic was women life in those days but if it is a real story based novel then i can understand why there cant be any good angle to write this.
