This book just wasn't for me. It puts questions in your mind of who is right and who is wrong. Its such a difficult subject. For a synopsis of the book, this is the description on the back.
On an icy winter night in an isolated house in rural Vermont, a seasoned midwife named Sibyl Danforth takes desperate measures to save a baby's life. She perfoms an emergency cesarean section on a mother she believes has died of stroke. But what if Sibyl's patient wasn't dead -and Sibyl inadvertently killer her?
As Sibyl faces the antagonism of the law, the hostility of traditional doctors, and the accusations of her own conscience, "Midwives" engages, moves, and transfixes us as only the very best novels ever do.
