I have never before been so painfully aware that the book I was reading was written in third person. I am not sure why, but I kept thinking something was wrong. Was I reading it wrong? Was I confused about the setting? Did I have the characters mixed up? Nope, this just isn't the book for me. I appreciate all of the painstaking research the author went through, but it reads like a dull sociological log book. The intense birth scenes were poignant, but not enough to save this sinking ship. Also, love story huh?
