Akuszerka s Sensburga

Katarzyna Enerlich

Stanisława, młoda kobieta z Mystkówca Starego w samym sercu Puszczy Białej, zbiera zioła i marzy o tym, by zostać pielęgniarką. Niestety, życie nie układa jej się tak, jak by tego chciała. Kiedy nagle umiera ukochany mąż Edmund, a na świat przychodzi córeczka Marianna, młoda kobieta musi stawić czoła nowym wyzwaniom i zapomnieć o marzeniach. Niespodziewanie dla samej siebie zostaje akuszerką i pod okiem wiejskiej „babki” doskonali umiejętności lecząc ziołami. We wsi pojawiają się nowi sąsiedzi, przybyli z Prus Wschodnich i opowiadają jej o tej nieznanej krainie a w niej niewielkim mieście Sensburg (obecne Mrągowo), gdzie ludzie żyją zupełnie inaczej. Stanisława postanawia wyjechać z rodzinnej wsi i osiąść właśnie tam. Akurat w nieodległej od Sensburga wsi Eckertsdorf (dzisiejsze Wojnowo) planowane są obchody 100-lecia osadnictwa staroobrzędowców, a tamtejszy klasztor poszukuje akuszerki i zielarki, która mogłaby pomóc siostrze Galinie. Stanisława postanawia wybrać się w daleką podróż, która zmieni jej życie. Powieść pachnie ziołami i jest przesycona prawdziwymi opowieściami mieszkańców Prus Wschodnich. Pokazuje świat wiejskich zielarek i akuszerek, który wprawdzie już odszedł, ale wciąż jeszcze powraca w ludzkich wspomnieniach.
