The Birth House (Random House of Canada, 2006) by Ami McKay
Naomi MacKinnon found this story of a midwife in early 20th-century Nova Scotia irresistible. She writes:
"There are many things I love about this book. I love the setting, I love the subject, I love the history, and I love the characters. It was one of those rare books that you are very sorry to be finished."
Accolades: A national bestseller, The Birth House won the Evergreen Award and was number 30 on the Globe and Mail's list of the decade's bestsellers. It scored laudatory reviews across the country, including from the Ottawa Citizen, which called it "An astonishing debut, a book that will break your heart and take your breath away."
Loved this! Read it on holiday! Read this book now!
