This book was okay. A little difficult to get into at first because there are so many characters (each chapter changes character/perspective so you really have to focus). There are also multiple timeframes it jumps between. I had to constantly flip back and forth to the family tree to remember what was going on. Once you get a grasp on the characters it’s a pretty easy read. Overall I thought it was a bit predictable and anticlimactic. I really enjoyed the character Tessa and would totally read an entire story about her and her patients as a midwife.
