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 ❤️
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.
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ an absolute page turner of historical fiction and the lives of women during the 1700s. Riveting!
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
pick4.75⭐️ I can see why so many readers love this book. I really, really liked this book and I really connected with Martha and her family, especially her husband. Loved the strong sense of history that the book places the reader in and Martha‘s story really helps with that. It was my favourite book for July. #2025 #fiction #biographical #historicalfiction
pick4 Stars • The Frozen River by Ariel Lawhon is a historical mystery set in 1789 Maine, following midwife Martha Ballard. When a man‘s body is found frozen in the river, Martha investigates, uncovering a scandal involving rape and betrayal. Balancing her role as a healer and truth-seeker, she challenges powerful men in her town. The novel blends suspense, historical detail, and Martha‘s fierce resilience.

pickRight away we‘re in the midst of watching midwife, Martha Ballard, help deliver a baby in the late 1700s and then told she is needed to see to the dead body just pulled from the river. She declares it was murder. Its slice of life, lotsa midwifing, community. There is also a sexual assault and gender inequality that still reads in a “yeah, that‘s what would happen today” 200 years later. Depressing. I really liked Martha and her wit. Pick!
