  "An Anerican Peace Corp worker befriends and African Midwife. Her experiences tell a wonderful story of friendship bridging two very different cultures" by ellentambo (see profile) 01/13/08

Excellent book. Our club rated it one of the highest we have ever rated a book. We all learned so much about African society, and especially about being a woman (pregnant) within a patriarcal and sometimes very unfair society. Highly recommend

 
  "Excellent read, eye-opening" by mcdotreader (see profile) 05/08/08

We loved it at our club. A very different type of memoir about a friendship across cultures. HIGHLY RECOMEND

 
  "Incredible" by pennyslager (see profile) 05/21/08

Wow!! What a book!! Our book club loved it.

 
  "A definite eye-opener. Great book as a women's read" by beckylord (see profile) 06/21/08

This book was so interesting--I live in the middle class midwest in America, and it is so hard to fathom what women live like in the rest of the world.

 
  "Heartwarming story of a young peace corps volunteer in Mali. She assists the local midwife who also becomes a very dear friend." by gazzingo (see profile) 12/19/08

This story is lovingly told by the peace corps volunteer. THE amazing cultural differences do not keep the two women from forming a beautiful friendship. We had a very good discussion expecially since we read MIDWIVES last month. This is a beautiful book.

  "Monique and the Mango Rains" by sraelling (see profile) 12/30/14

Kris has a way of bringing you into the story with her as she describes her time as a Peace Corps Volunteer, our \\\"on-the-ground\\\" ambassadors around the world. You will fall in love with and admire Monique for many reasons.
