 * **Midwives** || Chris Bohjalian || In Vermont, a young mother dies in childbirth while being attended by an independent midwife. She is charged with involuntary manslaughter. The story is told through the eyes of her young daughter and explores a range of issues.It was such an engaging tale, I've now got all the Bohjalian books to read. || Barbara B ||
 * [|April Fool's Day] || Bryce Courtenay || A heart-renching story of Bryce's son (Damon) who was born a haemophiliac and has to learn how to live with the disease. Set in Sydney in the 80's. A riveting read - sad, but all true. This is not a new publication, but I've only recently come across it and it's one of the best books I've ever read. I highly recommend it. It's one of those books you don't want to put down. || Rochelle Veness ||
