Midwives was recommended to me by my sister in law who has raved about it, which hopefully means that I will like it too. I would never use a midwife myself because I need drugs and a hospital to deliver a baby, but that doesn't mean that I can't see if from the view of someone who does. From what I have read on the back of the book it says that a midwife is accused of killing the mother while trying to save the baby, thinking that the mother was already dead. There is a trial involved and I always have loved a good court case, Jodi Picoult sure loves to write them. This book has garnered really great reviews and is even on Oprah's book club. It sounds interesting and sad. I think this will really get your emotions involved especially if you are a mom or want to be one. Are you ready for a tear jerker that this is claimed to be???

Looks good! Can't wait!
So i just have to say i just finished a great mystery book! If anyone is interested...you can read this book on the side! It by author Mary Higgins Clark; whom i love! The book is called "No Place Like Home!" Loved it, loved it loved it! Let me know if anyone has time to read it--i would love to chat with someone about it; since my husband just stares at me when i get all excited that i figured out who did it and how it all makes sense!!:) JILL
I love Mary Higgins Clark. Is that one of her newer book? It doesn't sound familiar to me. I'll definitely read it! I'll reserve it at the library and let you know when I start it.
Oh, and I'm excited to read the Midwives book. I have started it but have never finished it.
I will get that book too, I haven't read her books in years, I used to in High School.
I got on some spree in the last year or so and bought all of Mary Higgins Clarks books...and i am still going thru and reading them one by one!..and i really like all of them! This last one is one of her newer ones and probably one of my favorites!
PS Three days!!! Wahooooooo
You guys are reading fantastic books! I loved Midwives and the Libba Bray books and pretty much everything else you've read that I've read.
I'm psyched for next year's Jodi Picoult (apparently it's about a family who have a daughter with that disease that makes her bones really brittle, like to the point that a hug could crack a rib or break a back).
