There is one book in particular where there is a brutal midwife and all the women in the village fear giving birth because of it. Along comes a young lady from another clan (of course, it's about the scottish folk) and she teaches that labor is hard, but not as brutal as this midwife has made it to be.<br />It's quite a good book... if I could only remember the name...<br /><br />Thanks for the giveaway! It's great!<br />Love that book cover as well...<br /><br />mestith@gmail.comMeghanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02775078016150129513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3950979514940131182.post-70833854973804681112013-01-15T17:20:41.439-08:002013-01-15T17:20:41.439-08:00I'm a huge historical fiction fan but have bee...I'm a huge historical fiction fan but have been drifting away from the genre more and more. I think the only book about midwifes that I've ever read was this kids book I owned The Midwife's Apprentice by Karen Cushman, it was really cute though. haha (From what I remember). This one sounds really interesting though I'm definitely going to have to check it out.

It's quite the coming thing now. though I think they are more frequently referred to as Doualas.
