Description
This Slovak-language novel follows three women whose lives are connected by the Jane network, an illegal abortion service operated by courageous women in Toronto during the 1970s. In 2017, Angela Creighton comes across a mysterious letter containing a life confession and sets out to find its true recipient. Her search leads to the 1970s, when the Jane network operated despite police raids and the constant threat of arrest. In 1971, teenager Evelyn Taylor is sent to St Agnes's Home for fallen women, where she is forced to give up her child for adoption. The experience leaves her with a deep trauma from which she never fully recovers. Later, as a doctor, she joins Jane, determined to offer other women the choice she herself never had. In 1980, twenty-year-old Nancy Mitchell discovers a shocking family secret and begins to question everything she has believed. An unexpected pregnancy deepens her loneliness, leading her to seek help from Jane. She later finds her place alongside Dr Taylor, but cannot escape the shadow of lies from the past.
