The Midwife's Tale: An Oral History from Handywoman to Professional Midwife
by Nicky Leap, Billie Hunter This book is an interesting historical fiction based on a diary written by a midwife who lived in the late 1600's; and it covers the time when York, England was besieged by rebels fighting against the Royalists who supported King Charles. Historian Sam Thomas brings this time very much to life.
Hi. I am a voracious reader of fiction and non-fiction and would like to hear from other readers. I yearn for world peace and the widespread use of sustainable resources and would like to hear from others who espouse these ideals.
