A review by seattlecubsfan
Mercy Street by Jennifer Haigh
The best part of this book was the picture it gave of the day to day operations of a women's health center / abortion provider -- it brought home how much the average person (and the average man in particular) doesn't understand about women's choices and constraints.
Overall, though, this book didn't really work for me as a piece of literature. The connections among the different main characters were kind of tenuous, contrary to was was promoted on the book jacket, and it mostly felt a bit flat. Others have really liked it, so your mileage may vary.
