Marilyn Boyle’s Reviews > A Midwife's Tale: The Life of Martha Ballard, Based on Her Diary, 1785-1812 > Status Update

I got this book after reading Frozen River, based on Martha Ballard’s life. This book was a Pulitzer winner, and I already can see why it won. I will slowly be going through it, as I resort to history at night, when sleep eludes me. Already I am more entertained than I was by the historical fiction based on the same events and have a clearer picture of Martha Ballard. Wonderful interpretation of her diary!
