Midwives (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798888560693)

Based on Chris Bohjalian's #1 New York Times Bestselling Novel and Oprah's Book Club Selection, MIDWIVES is both a gripping tale of suspense and a riveting courtroom drama. When a major snowstorm breaks out during a routine home birth, cutting off all communication with the outside world, midwife Sibyl Danforth is forced to make an impossible decision.

"Unforgettable." -Broadway World

"Evocative and unnerving ... Rarely will an intermission blackout leave audiences quite so shaken." -The Star-Ledger

"It is so riveting we cannot believe how intense the room is at times." -New Jersey Stage

"The first act is thrumming with tension, like a plucked string, initially, tuned then turned ever tighter, to near the breaking point. You'll buy a seat, but you'll only need the edge. And when the first act is through and the lights come up, only then will you realize that you hardly dared to breathe." -OnStage

"A first-class thriller ... some of the most riveting drama ... in any theatre anywhere." -New Jersey Hills
