Mercy Street by Jennifer Haigh
3.0
A bit glum with bits where I laughed out loud. The recognizable absurdity of the sexist racist and the other anti-choice people is just too depressing. The simplistic thinking and inability to take responsibility for their own misdeeds, for their tendency to blame the victims.
She expressed some of the rage I feel about people who are self-righteous about circumstances that aren’t their business nor ones they have any clue about. Dangerously misguided people for whom, once a child is born, the kid is on their own; for whom, they could give a shit about maternity care before and after childbirth.
So, for that, 3 stars. I didn’t read the whole book. After a third, I went to the last chapter in order to be a bit more ready for my book club…
