I had read other reviews that compared this book to Harper Lee's incredible novel, To Kill a Mockingbird. I really didn't see the connection at first, other than the fact that both books involve a court room trial. As I read this book to its conclusion, I was amazed at the similarities.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It is a well written, well crafted story. It is definitely a story that I will never forget. Once again, that's a similarity to To Kill a Mockingbird (which will always be my favorite book). I found Midwives to be very difficult to put down. Its characters became very real to me. Sybil and Connie will be with me forever.
