Re: A book to read

Along the lines of books to read- I know you probably already have read it- but "The Red Tent" by Anita Diamant is another great book when it comes to midwifery and womens bodies.

A private practicing midwife recommended it to me and I loved it.

I have just read "Year of Wonders" by Geraldine Brooks and really enjoyed it. It is set in 1666 and describes the fortunes of an English village during the plague through the eyes of a young woman. There is a story line about midwifery and the views of people of that time in relation to midwifery and how they were accused of being witches (I don't want to give the storyline away).
Just thought I'd share that with you.
