The Midwife | Gay Courter
3 posts | 3 read | 2 to read
Hannah Blau, a young midwife, is driven by a passion to help other women--from Russian noblewomen to prostitutes--bring their babies safely into the world. After surviving pogroms, she emigrates to America where midwives present an economic threat to the emerging specialty of obstetrics, but the greatest challenge Hannah faces is from three men--Stefan Petrograv, the brilliant Russian doctor; Lazar, a firebrand socialist; and Nathaniel Belinsky, a ruthless, virile businessman. Each loves her and tries to make her his own while she struggles to confront a hostile world that tests her vision of personal and professional happiness.

This has been one of the best books I read so far. I am not a crier but this made me cry. It's about a women who is way ahead of her times. A must read.

3.5 ⭐ I enjoyed this book, I would have rated higher, but the writing is a bit simple in sentence structure. But the story is fascinating, about a Jewish midwife in Russia, who works at a lying in hospital in Moscow until her family is subjected to a pogrom in 1904. They flee to America and begin again. I would recommend to you if you're interested in a midwifes life at the turn of the century

This book gives so much more than just a story. This is a must read for everyone. #gayCourter #fiction #litzyAtoZ #litsy
