Ever since reading the Call the Midwife books, I have been wanting to read more stories of women helping other women with childbirth and this book delivered. I really enjoyed learning about the traditional Chinese medicines, their diagnostic procedures, and the relationships between doctors and midwives. It was a vivid and sometimes heartbreaking look at life for women in 1400s China. I loved seeing Yunxian realize the power of the circle of women who surrounded her with their love.
