There were parts of this book I really liked, the strength in the women, the attitude of sex from both men and women in the early 1900's and the newspaper ads the author shared. However, I didn't feel any connection with the characters and really thought this is where the book had its short comings.

An informative tale of midwifery and other issues pertaining to women in Nova Scotia in the early 1900's. Well written and well developed characters. A thoroughly entertaining and educational novel.
