Been waiting to read this book for awhile. It‘s set in 1789, and the book I‘m writing is set in 1775. One book is set in Maine, the other on an island in Helsinki. Books ❤️ writing ❤️
pickMartha Ballard was a woman ahead of her times as the town midwife who has a penchant for justice, especially against men who have committed crime that she has experience with. Her loving husband and children become intertwined in the storyline and each character brings their own impact to the story. When the local judge is the person of interest in a rape charge from a woman, how will it play out? Well-written but a bit drawn out in my opinions.
so-soYikes taking this many liberties with the life story of a real historical figure makes me uneasy. Might‘ve been better to change names and just fictionalize it completely? But a zippy plot and a strong sense of place. I suppose if I take it in the spirit of “Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter,” I‘m good. But despite obvious research, just too much that didn‘t feel plausible. Strong characterizations by reader Jane Oppenheimer kept me listening. 2023
pickAll the trappings of a romance novel, a grieving widowed wife crosses path with a well-known artist, Ian while trying to escape in a tiny town. With her nursing skills, she helps deliver a baby in town but loses the mom during labor. After promising to raise the baby, Wren, Tess finds herself immersing herself into the community and dancing her way out of grief from loss & possibly falling head over heels for Ian, too.
pick4/5 - Really enjoyed this historical fiction, very well written. Inspired by the life of Martha Ballard, this book is set in Hallowell, a small town in Maine, in 1789, during a long cold winter. Through Martha, midwife and healer, we get to know the inhabitants, their secrets, the hidden politics of the town. The book begins with a body discovered in the icy river, a man allegedly accused of the brutal rape of a woman.
Thank you, my friends: 51,000 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ reviews on Goodreads . Is it time to discover (or rediscover) the novel about a home birth, a midwife on trial, and a young girl coming of age in Vermont that first introduced my work to so many of you? @DoubledayBooks
