Summary
In Vienna, 1865, a physician is ridiculed for his claim that unwashed doctor's hands are the cause of childhood fever. In present day London, a young woman plans for a home birth, unprepared for the trials she is about to endure. Somewhere in 2153, when humans are birthed and raised in breeding farms, a woman is on trial for concealing a pregnancy.--From publisher's description.
