This is gripping story, told by the young daughter of a midwife who is brought to trial because of the death of a mother in childbirth. Interspersed throughout the story, you see snippets of the mother's diary, and you get an interesting perspective of what the daughter sees through her 14 year old eyes. I couldn't put this down once I started it.
