I tripped on this book and loved it!
The Midwife’s Confession by Diane Chamberlain quickly became one of my favorite books of the year. It is the story of two dear friends trying to understand another friend’s suicide. They discover a letter that gives them a hint that there was much more to their friend than they knew.
I don’t often read mysteries and frankly didn’t know this was one when I picked it up. GO READ THIS BOOK- IT TOTALLY ROCKS AND YOU WON’T BE ABLE TO PUT IT DOWN!
The writing is lyrical and I literally was shocked when the truth came out at the end of the book- love that! Some quotes I loved:
“Sometimes it was hard to express how much you loved someone. You said the words, but you could never quite capture the depth of it You could never quite hold someone tightly enough.”
“…one emotion still remained unchecked inside me:fear that I was failing my daughter.”
“Noelle needed ten lives to do all the things she wanted to do.”
“…and I knew I would never have that everhing’s-right-in-my-world feeling again.”
You are going to love this book!
What are you reading and where are you going?

I read one of her books last year and really liked it- good to know this one is good too.
Off to add this to my wishlist! (Somehow, I feel I must do this and that I will be forever sad if I do not!)

I see that I commented already…but put in the wrong link, I guess. Anyway, I loved this book, too! Absolutely awesome. A favorite of the year.
Here’s MY SUNDAY SALON POST and
MY WEBSITE
I haven’t read this book, but have heard great things about it! I will put it on my TBR list…
This book is new to me, but now I’m intrigued!
I really liked this book also. It was different from anything I’ve read recently so it was a great change. I also could not put it down. But I was able to guess 2 of 3 shockers from the ending…sorry, I seem to have an uncanny knack for that kinda thing. But here was one predication I had that was totally off, so that made up for it! Guess anyone who reads this can see there is quite a bit of mystery and suspense in this one.
Just like you, I don’t often read mysteries, but this one sounds really intriguing! I’m going to check it out. As the days get shorter and evenings longer, it’s a good time for a nice mystery book
Thanks for the tip!
I’m visiting from #commenthour. I am going to get this book, I lost my best friend to suicide 2 yrs ago and our other friend and I have been searching for answers. Thanks for sharing this book, I think I’ll be able to relate.
Oh my! From just that tiny bit I feel like I MUST find out what happened!! Ha! I guess that’s what a good book does -captures our interest!!
