Girls, I just finished reading the book
midwives by chris bohjalian. It was truly
remarkable, and I think you all should
read it! The ending is definately a
shock! Read it!

It tells the story of a midwive and the
adventures of being a midwive. Its about
a midwife named sibyl danforth. She is in
her early forties, and has a 14 year old
daughter named connie. All of the times
sibyl delivered babies, everything went
extremely well. She delivered over 500
babies. However, one night, during one of
her deliveries everything went wrong.
The time is 1981, and sibyl danforth has
been a dedicated midwife in the rural
community of reddington, vermont, for
fifteen years. But one treacherous winter
night, in a house isolated by icy roads
and failed telephone lines, sibyl takes
desperate measures to save a baby's life.
She performs an emergency caesarean
section on its mother, who appears to have
died in labor. But what if—as sibyl's
assistant later charges—the patient wasn't
already dead, and it was sibyl who
inadvertently killed her?
Girls, you have to read this book! I
finished it in like 3 days, it was
amazing! The ending is the best part, it
leaves you shocked!!! Seriously, read
it!!!
