The Birth House

I put this book on hold after it was recommended by my favorite 'mommy blog' Clover Lane and I loved it. Set in a small town in Nova Scotia during WWI, it follows a girl named Dora Rare as she transitions from childhood to womanhood and becomes a midwife along the way. The societal issues and point of view was fascinating- realizing how far we have come but how similar we are in some ways. Loved it.
