I'm thinking this book is unnecessarily long. So far, there has been a lot of words and not very much plot. I don't see why most of the words matter, and ultimately don't think they will add to the story in the end.

I continue to slog through this. I think part of the reason it is so long is that we are following more than one birth story that exists primarily for the sake of existing. Similar to other reviewers, it seems like every woman in this town is having a baby at the moment and it feels like we're being introduced to characters for no real purpose and without knowing anything about them afterwards.

Determined to finish this even though it's quite dark and long.
