I've only read Velvet by Mary Hooper and I think she does a bit more sugarcoating than Alison Rattle has done. :)Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05628601066057750860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7735223299018836451.post-18671076880688158282013-03-06T10:47:15.671+00:002013-03-06T10:47:15.671+00:00This sounds like I would enjoy it very much, I'...This sounds like I would enjoy it very much, I'm adding it to my TBR list. I'd also be interested in the academic research behind the novel, midwifery/maternity is one of my research interests, but usually pre-19th century.<br /><br />Thanks for the review!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11853350915907204610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7735223299018836451.post-65231137350905549672013-03-05T19:27:59.640+00:002013-03-05T19:27:59.640+00:00I love Mary Hooper's books as well as Malorie ...I love Mary Hooper's books as well as Malorie Blackman and I watch Call the Midwife every week so I'm sure that I'll enjoy this. Historical fiction is also one of my favourite genres and I particularly love the Victorian era so it does seem like this book is screaming at me to pick it up.<br /><br />I think it's good that authors feel that they can tell the truth within novels because when they try to sugar coat things it can feel as if it is a little fake. I'm all for writing things just as they were.<br /><br />Glad you enjoyed this one! :)Lucy Powriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08449822423435674409noreply@blogger.com
