Worth reading, very interesting
) 
Very interesting account of midwife in the 1800's. A little hard to follow but the narrative helps a lot. I purchased it for a history class I am taking.

) I had hoped for a journal of the author's baby deliverys. However, it is more a diary of daily activities. About births...she often say something like "put Mrs. Smith to bed with a son" This would mean she delivered the lady of a boy baby.
Not what I had hope when reading the title.

I have a program in our reinactors of 18th century life. My focus is on midwife and herbal medicine. The book was advertised as being in excellent (used) condition. It is certainly as advertised. It arrived in a reasonable length of time and without any damage due to shipping.

Not engaging at all. This book is not a fun or interesting book to read unless you love cryptic, short journal entrys, and are dying to know more about histroy.

A Midwife's Tale: The Life of Martha Ballard 1785-18120 of 2 people found this review helpful.
I bought this book because it was required reading for my history class. This is similar to a biography. Overall, I think the author did a good job with this book, but there was a lot of information. The author seemed almost over-analyzing everything about Ballard's diary. I haven't read too many biographies, so I can't really judge. I never read any novel for fun, so every book is the same to me.
