Clara Perry is a nurse midwife who runs away from her life, her profession, her identity, her husband, and even her daughter. Fleeing to an island on the Canadian side of Lake Erie, she becomes Sara Livingston, at first isolating herself in a rented cottage, and hiding, lest her illegal entry into Canada, as well as the criminal charges awaiting her in the U.S, become known. Though she first avoids contact with anyone, she gradually begins to meet other island residents, and to become friends with some. Sara’s compassion for others leads her to begin to use her nursing skills, and also to eventually become involved in the islander’s inner fight over development that might lead to more jobs and greater economic security for the islands population, versus those who want to preserve the islands’ environment, and it’s status as a bird sanctuary, and thus encouraging a tourist industry. Sara herself has joined the legions of bird watcher’s here, and each chapter ends with a description of a new bird she has spotted.This was an easy and enjoyable read. I won my early reviewers copy from LibraryThing. Tämä arvostelu kirjoitettiin LibraryThingin Varhaisia arvostelijoita varten. I received an ARC of The Runaway Midwife in return for an honest review. Thank you library thing for the opportunity to read this book.Let me start by saying this is the third midwife book I have read.With that being said its my least favorite one. I found it to be slower than the other two.There were great events a death, a birth, an accident, sexual tension but some how it didn't pull me in. Over all I liked the characters and the plot line,I didn't care for the bird descriptions. I look forward to the next midwife book. Thank you Patricia Harman for putting your experience into great books. Tämä arvostelu kirjoitettiin LibraryThingin Varhaisia arvostelijoita varten. An ARC was provided in exchange for an honest review. This did not influence my thoughts in any way.The Runaway Midwife is about Clara, who after suffering through a series of tragic losses, decides to abandon the life she knows and flees to Canada. I thought the story was interesting and although I didn’t feel an emotional connection to Clara until I was more than half way done, I enjoyed her adventures. This was one of those books that when you finish it you just feel good. I also enjoyed that at the end of a chapter there was a description of local birds. Charming! ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu
From the USA Today bestselling author of the Hope River series comes a new contemporary midwife novel. Say "goodbye" to your old life, and "hello" to the life you've been waiting for... Midwife Clara Perry is accustomed to comforting her pregnant patients...calming fathers-to-be as they anxiously await the birth of their children...ensuring the babies she delivers come safely into the world. But when Clara's life takes a nosedive, she realizes she hasn't been tending to her own needs and does something drastic: she runs away and starts over again in a place where no one knows her or the mess she's left behind in West Virginia. Heading to Sea Gull Island--a tiny, remote Canadian island--Clara is ready for anything. Well, almost. She left her passport back home, and the only way she can enter Canada is by hitching a ride on a snowmobile and illegally crossing the border. Deciding to reinvent herself, Clara takes a new identity--Sara Livingston, a writer seeking solitude. But there's no avoiding the outside world. The residents are friendly, and draw "Sara" into their lives and confidences. She volunteers at the local medical clinic, using her midwifery skills, and forms a tentative relationship with a local police officer. But what will happen if she lets down her guard and reveals the real reason why she left her old life? One lesson soon becomes clear: no matter how far you run, you can never really hide from your past. Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |
