a young couple, Conrad and Joanna Harrison, attempt to save their marriage by starting anew in a rural turn-of-the-century former birthing house. One day when Jo is away at work, the former owner bequeaths a photo album that “belongs to the house.” Thumbing through these antique photos of miserable midwives and pregnant girls in their nineteenth-century dresses, Conrad is chilled to the bone: staring back at him with a countenance of rage is his own wife.--From publisher description. |
