I didn't think Midwives stood up to all of the reviews I read. While it was a decent read and told from the viewpoint of the 14-year-old daughter, Connie, Sybil Danforth is the key midwife involved. I'd give it 3 stars at most. Nice relaxing story with a courtroom drama as Sybil is prosecuted for the death of a young mother she is attending as a midwife. Lots of interesting side impressions such as what men think of midwives, how doctors react to the concept, should a woman have a baby at home, etc.
