The Book Of The Unnamed Midwife by Meg Elison
A nameless midwife wakes into a world ravaged by a deadly plague that has wiped out much of the population and left women especially scarce; to survive she assumes a new identity, travels across a brutal post‑apocalyptic landscape, and uses her medical skills to help and protect pregnant women while confronting violence, exploitation, and questions of gender, power, and what it means to rebuild community and self.
