[2019]., Adult, William Morrow, an imprint of HarperCollins Publishers Call No: Historical FIC WOO Edition: First Edition. Availability:1 of 1 At Location(s) Summary Note: *Student Pick* Emma Trimpany is just seventeen when she assists at the harrowing birth of the Dionne quintuplets: five tiny miracles born to French farmers in hardscrabble Northern Ontario in 1934. Emma cares for them through their perilous first days, and when the government removes the babies from their francophone parents, making them wards of the British king, Emma signs on as their nurse. Over six thousand daily visitors come to ogle the identical "Quints" playing in their custom-built playground; at the height of the Great Depression, the tourism dollars and endorsement deals pour in. While the rest of the world delights in their sameness, Emma sees each girl as unique: Yvonne, Annette, Cecile, Marie, and Emilie. With her quirky eye for detail, Emma records every strange twist of events in her private journals. As the fight over custody and revenues turns increasingly explosive, Emma is torn between the fishbowl sanctuary of Quintland and the wider world, now teetering on the brink of war.
