So a fruend was telling me about a book but she doesn't know what it was called or who wrote it but it sounded super intriguing so I'm trying my luck. Trigger warning for the description.
She said it was based in Nordic/viking times and all she could remember was a scene where a woman was being executed at the gallows for a crime and she ended up giving birth right there in front of the crowd watching the execution. They went ahead with it and then members of the village raised the baby.
It's literally all she could tell me so I know it's not much to go on but if anyone knows what it could be I'd love to read it.
