Produktinformationen zu „Birth of Love “
A beautifully constructed and immensely powerful work that is a story of rebellion, isolation and the damage done by ideologies -- all about motherhood. In 1865 Vienna Dr Semmelweis claims that doctors' unwashed hands are the root cause of childbed fever. In 2009 London Michael Stone's publishes a novel about Semmelweis, and while he absorbs his success, his wife begins the labour of her second child. And in the future humans are birthed and raised in breeding centres, nurtured by strangers and deprived of familial love.
