about the ending? I was furious. (view spoiler)[ I spent the entire book wanting to protect the midwife and in the end she saw the body move??? AHHHHHHH!!!! (hide spoiler)]

Yeh I can understand where you are coming from Ashley. was a good book though.

It's been ages since I read this book, but I remember feeling like I'd been duped as well!

[Ira]

Really? How come? I actually loved the ending

[Joclyn]

I agree with Ira!!

It really has been years since I've read it, so I hope I'm remembering correctly. I did love it when I read it. You feel connected to the midwife & empathise with her the whole way through, only to be betrayed at the end! It was a great twist, but I felt duped or strung along the whole way. I think it shows how well written it is.

I agree, but I didn't feel duped - I had an idea throughout the book that that may have been the case. Very well written and a fascinating story.

I felt that the book was leaning towards an affair between Sybil and Stephen. I would have been upset if something would have materialized between them, but also, if nothing did, why add it into the book. I would love to hear others' thoughts about this.

I read this one with Oprah's book club. It's a fascinating story where I had the chance to make a choice about what to believe.
