Review: One of the very best novels I've read in years, and I read a LOT! Every member of my Book Club (there are 11 of us) gave it 5 stars, as do I. Lawton does a superb job of transporting the reader back to this place and time in history with intricate details of what life was like for people in Maine in the 1800s. Her engaging details of the realities of everyday life, the harsh weather and the oppression women faced at that time reveal the inner strength many women possessed. Although this is a fiction novel, it is based on an actual midwife's life, and we are left in awe of the iron will and compassionate work of the main character. A 'not to be missed' tale told by a master storyteller.
Review: A beautifully written historical fiction - based on the true story of Martha Ballard, a midwife and healer living in Maine in the 18th century...a realistic depiction of the ways in which women of that time were treated....a great read, possibly a little long, but a fascinating novel...

*by L***S on 4 February 2025*

Perfectly well delivered! - paperback cover A solid 4.5 stars from me! And honestly, I can’t even pinpoint exactly why—it’s just that good. For starters, the book is incredibly easy to read. Although it’s historical fiction, it doesn’t get bogged down with excessive historical data or events. Instead, the author keeps the focus on the story, making it all the more engaging. That said, the historical backdrop is still well-explored, offering an insightful look into 18th-century American life without feeling like a history lesson. What I loved most was how the novel highlights the experiences of women from this era—bringing visibility to voices often overlooked in history. Ariel does this masterfully, presenting their stories in a way that feels natural and authentic, without glorifying or diminishing their struggles. And then there’s the mystery! In fact, this book could just as easily be classified as a thriller rather than strictly historical fiction. The suspense kept me hooked from start to finish, making it an even more compelling read!
