Attualmente non vi sono conversazioni su questo libro. ![]() ![]() I really wanted to like this - the book is based on its eponymous heroine, the real-life Elizabeth Cellier who had, as the understatement of the century, an extraordinary life during an extraordinary time in history. And while the author does a commendable job capturing the stench & squalor of Newgate prison, and creating a palpable sense of the times, the book just dragged on and on. The level of repetition was overhwleming, I finally aborted at the 40% point. This book was well-received, so I´m sure there will be others who will disagree with me, but this book was wanting of a good editor. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

An outspoken midwife. A false imprisonment. Will one woman's faith and courage be enough to tip the scales of justice? London, 1679. Elizabeth Cellier is a loving wife, a friend to her neighbors, and a former midwife to the Queen. She's brave in a time of fear, dedicating her free time to serving the unjustly persecuted.

But she never expected her quest for equal rights would unknowingly lure her into a plot against her beloved King... Elizabeth finds herself in the same prison she sought to improve. With time running out before her trial, can the midwife defend herself in a court prejudiced against women, Catholics, and foreigners? If she fails, the punishment could claim her life... The Popish Midwife is the inspiring true story of English midwife Elizabeth Cellier.
