My Name is Mary Sutter by Robin Oliveira

1.0

This would have been a wonderful book if it could have made up its mind what it was. As it is, the story of Mary Sutter, a woman trying to become more than just a midwife, becomes lost in vast tangents into war memoirs, partially-told love stories, and a good deal of patriot bashing. In the end we even lose track of Mary for long chapters as we follow other barely-developed sub-characters. I'm left really wanting to have read the story of Mary and her journey to medical training.
