The old midwives ways versus new birthing technologies in 1918 Nova Scotia. Potions and love, groaning cake recipe and the know how passed from from an old Midwife to a younger midwife in "learning". The bonding of ladies, husbands and life as it takes place with explosions, war and a molasses overflow.
So much feeling went into this book - it's not just a story of birthing babies, it's a woman's story of how life begins and the groans of giving birth.
Such a touching story and well written. Fortunately I have two copies of this book and I must keep one to treasure for another read!
Heart-warming!!
