Absolutely beautiful! I love the fierce tenderness with which the author portrays the main character, a midwife. I love how she doesn’t hold back in conveying the hypocrisy of patriarchy! At the same time, handling the traditional expectations of mothers & fathers, sons & daughters, friends & envious neighbors with wit and grace. So far, I also love how she humanizes every character. I feel like I know them all!
