Woot, finished! I see why this book is every where right now. It a a nice dive back into some historical fiction and makes me want to read more stuff from the 1700s (although maybe not necessarily about midwifery)
Anyway, I really enjoyed it

I finally spent a gift card someone got me, and I got my first book from abebooks! The other 3 are still on their way, but this was the only book I ordered I haven't read yet 🙂 the others are all books I've read but don't own yet

perfectsinner Everyone's raved about it & I decided I needed at least one book I *haven't* already read, so decided on this one. Unfortunately, a pesky headache has delayed me from reading more than one chapter so far today 😞 5d

"It is a pity you hate women so much" I tell him "because you are going to spend the rest of your life pissing like one".

What a line!

One of the things I love about historical fiction is that it introduces you to people we should know and Martha Ballard is one of those people and while this book doesn't stick 100% to the facts, it's pretty close all in all.

I was drawn into this book straightaway and loved every page.

TiredLibrarian Loved this too! ❤️ 6d

This book was based on a real person, Martha Ballard, a midwife and healer in the late 18th century. There is a murder mystery and rape, but also relationships of family and small community. This is the best kind of historical fiction: complete immersion into a historical setting and a protagonist that refuses to look the other way and approaches her life with honesty and conviction. Strong women has always appealed to me. Highly recommend.

Continuing the countdown of my books, from 1st to 25th, THE JACKAL‘S MISTRESS. Today it‘s my 5th novel, a 1997 story about a midwife on trial for manslaughter -- and the novel that would become my second movie (starring Sissy Spacek and Alison Pill), an Oprah's Book Club selection, and a #1 New York Times bestseller.

CBee Congratulations on an excellent book - I loved this one ♥️ 1w
