What a success! What a woman! Hulda Gold is a midwife, a sleuth, a shoulder to cry on – and the heroine of a series of popular books. 

Berlin, 1925. Hulda Gold has risen to the position of supervising midwife in the gynaecological hospital in Berlin-Mitte. The relationship between her and the young doctor Johann Wenckow, son of a wealthy family from the exclusive residential area of Frohnau, blossoms into something deeper. But Johann’s parents are not happy about the liaison between their promising son and the independent, stubborn midwife. Hulda feels torn between the two worlds she is now frequenting: the lively Schöneberg area, where she continues to be known as “Miss Hulda”, and the rich villas in Frohnau with all their demands and strict etiquette. At a ball in the Wenckows’ household, Hulda comes across a scandal surrounding a pregnant servant girl; a tightly guarded family secret lies behind it. Her investigations take her into the Berlin art world. Hulda’s insistence to lift the veil on what happened unsettles her relationship with Johann. She tries to make the right decision – and then her world is unexpectedly turned upside down …
