The Midwife's Daughter (2012) - Plot & Excerpts

I really wanted to enjoy this book but I didn't feel it had a main focus ... It touched on racial issues, sibling rivalry, domestic violence, the perils of childbirth and the horror of war - yet seemed to attempt to cram too much in at once. So much so that I didn't feel an emotional connection with many of the topics as there was too much going on. Too much going on and yet nothing ground breaking really happening. The ending was odd and disappointing, I wasn't impressed overall. Charity shop for this book. I'm not sure what the message of this book was supposed to be. I felt like it was pretty anti-climactic at the end. The story builds and builds on the life of this young black girl in England at the turn of the century, but at the end she just all of the sudden goes away and the book ends from the perspective of a very inconsequential character in the book. The story is interesting and it's a quick read, but I was a bit disappointed with the ending.
