Midwives: A Novel | Chris Bohjalian

Midwifery fascinates me, especially in older historical periods. I‘m also a fan of the series Call the Midwife. This book is slow burn but written very well. On an impossible winter night in Vermont, conditions are set that just happen to align for an unknowingly risky home birth. When the town midwife makes the best decision she knows, her life turns upside down. Here is a modern story of an old patriarchal ploy: controlling women‘s bodies.

I‘m not a fan of historical fiction generally, but this book is excellent! I was hooked from the start and enthralled all the way to the end. It‘s an intimate look at the state of being female in the 1700‘s in America. Powerful and well written.

#AuldLangSpine Match is @kspenmoll

Kudos to @monalyisha as I have not read anything on the list but the top book is high on my TBR. Guess this is my sign to finally read it!

monalyisha I *need* to read Memorial Days. I finally put it on hold after sending all these lists out. 🖤 4w
monalyisha I also appreciate the full circle quality of your list, beginning & ending with “frozen.” 🥶 4w
Lesliereadsalot North Woods and Wild Dark Shore are two terrific books! 4w
Texreader I‘ve only read Wild Dark Shore. It made my list too. It‘s awesome. 4w

@bookspin @TheAromaofBooks

I liked this, not as much as I have seen others here but it was a well paced, keep you reading ride. I have a fear of pregnancy and birth so midwife takes are not my go to but I liked how the story really revolves around the community and centers on a murder.
I thought it was fascinating that our MC has an adult son she doesn't really seem to like,in a time of raise them correctly they will molded the way you intend.👇

ChaoticMissAdventures I thought there was some disjointedness with the story telling, Dr Fosters arrival and that offshoot of the story felt a bit tacked on and incomplete to me. I also occasionally struggled remembering who was who. But overall I found this to be quick paced and engrossing 1mo
TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 1mo
