Great book! The story may be fiction but speaks to the relationships of mothers and children, and the resilience of the human spirit. (The mini-series was pretty good too!)

Women giving birth makes my stomach turn. Maybe I AM immature...or maybe, like others don't care for blood, I just have issues with babies popping out of vaginas.
The book was a good historical fiction. It kept my interest...and allowed me to forget my surroundings, but the topic (midwife...) was maybe not the best choice for me. :) Yes, read it....it is an easy, fast read.

an interesting fictional realization of one of the many glorious women in the Bible that you really never hear about.

Un libro de esos que te hacen pasar un buen rato haciendote sumergir en la historia fácilmente. Una historia preciosa que promueve valores de sororidad, cosa muy necesaria hoy en día, y que te muestra el lado oculto que la Historia cayó. No se que tan certero sea desde el punto de vista histórico pero me parece que cumple muy bien su rol a la hora de mostrar costumbres y modo de vida. No sé si será un libro memorable, eso solo el tiempo lo dirá, así que puntúo este libro por la hermosa experiencia y la paz que me brindó al leerlo

I suggest not reading the end of this book in public because it will make you cry so hard!

I loved this story. This is not my typical book and was not even on my radar until a friend mentioned it. Now I'm glad I have read it. The story of Dinah is happy, sad, and beautiful and completely worth the read.
