About this product

Product Information

NATIONAL BESTSELLER - This modern classic from the author of The Flight Attendant is a compulsively readable novel that explores questions of human responsibility that are as fundamental to our society now as they were when the book was first published. A selection of Oprah's original Book Club that has sold more than two million copies. On an icy winter night in an isolated house in rural Vermont, a seasoned midwife named Sibyl Danforth takes desperate measures to save a baby's life. She performs an emergency cesarean section on a mother she believes has died of stroke. But what if--as Sibyl's assistant later charges--the patient wasn't already dead? The ensuing trial bears the earmarks of a witch hunt, forcing Sibyl to face the antagonism of the law, the hostility of traditional doctors, and the accusations of her own conscience. Exploring the complex and emotional decisions surrounding childbirth, Midwives engages, moves, and transfixes us as only the very best novels ever do. Look for Chris Bohjalian's new novel, The Lioness !

    Worth Reading this book

    The book is well written and deals with an interesting situation - you are never really sure which way the trial will turn out so it keeps you reading.

  • Entertaining & Absorbing!

    As an experienced and highly-regarded midwife, Sibyl Danforth knows how to deliver a baby during difficult conditions, whether those conditions are caused by the mother’s health or a winter storm. “Midwives” by Chris Bohjalian is the story of one such homebirth and all that followed. “Midwives” was an Oprah book selection in 1998, and since then Bohjalian has written bestseller after bestseller. This novel, like the others, is full of well-developed, believable characters, but is primarily driven by the plot. Reading this novel is to wonder what’s coming next, but in a good way. If you like the novels of Jodi Picoult, you’ll probably like this book, too.

  • Interesting book

    It's an eye opener to the world of midwives, and what can happen.
