I loved this book about Appalachia and a young woman's struggle to define herself and overcome a past filled with tragedy. Patricia Harman's heroine in Patience Murphy was a woman of many layers. Written in diary form, Patience was passionate as a midwife who broke rules for her patients, suffered through her doubt and found her truth in the joy and pain of childbirth. She struggled to survive in the poverty stricken area of Hope River, where work was scarce and her patients, more often than not, did not have money to pay her.Patience was a champion for human rights at great personal risk. She was not restricted by the black and white boundaries of the time. This earned her both friends and enemies.This is a story with rich characters and a heroine I loved. Inevitably, it is a story of triumph and hope. I didn't want it to end. Great book!
I sank into this book starting it yesterday and burned on through it today. Patience Murphy is not really who she appears to be, and her story, as she tells it, encompasses American society from the Twenties through the Thirties. Lizbeth/Patience lives several lives in the course of the novel but most of it takes place along Hope River in northern Virginia in the hollows where coal is mined and people scrape by. A certified midwife, Patience ministers to the women of the community, black and white, and holds her secrets--which make her untrusting and suspicious--close. Perhaps the story softens to bring everything to a sweet and promising close, but that worked for me. The union strife of the times and racial conflict heighten the tensions of the times, but Patience and her friends ultimately rise above all.
I rarely have read a book that has me engrossed with the very first paragraph, but this is one of them. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and I recommend it to any one that loves history, medical information, and stories of mountain people and how they lived. The author did a wonderful job putting it all together for me to enjoy.I really wanted this book not to end the way it did, it left me hanging looking for the next page. But all is well that ends well. It also reminds us how good we have it now compared to the primitive way that the people lived in that era. We are truly blessed not have to work that hard and do without out like some of them had to do during the depression age.If you are looking for a good book to read, I think most of you would find this one very enjoyable.
A wonderful story about the lives of the people who struggled to survive during the depression in the Appalachian mountains. In particular, a woman, Patience, who found herself alone in an extremely remote mountain area in West Virginia. A story of birth, death and living in an era of extreme poverty, Patience joins with Bitsy to become midwives for the poor women.
When I read a book I don't want to feel the author's presence. I want to witness that fictional world and draw my own conclusions. I don't care for writers that say, "I have something important to say so I will tell a story to make my point." What you end up with is a book full of contrived and convenient story lines. This book unfortunately falls right into that trap. There are other elements to this book that I couldn't overlook such as never feeling that this was taking place roughly 90 years ago. I had to keep reminding myself of the era. I can't imagine anyone in 1929 letting you know that they can give you a ride by jangling their Model T keys. Little things like that just seemed so out of place. The main character was unremarkable and difficult to relate to, like a 70-year old woman in a 36-year old body. The birthing scenes were interesting and believable and I wasn't surprised to read that the author was an experienced midwife. However the rest of the book lacks the exhaustive research and attention to detail that makes period novels successful.
The Midwife of Hope River by Patricia Harman has been out for ages and I’ve even owned the audiobook for a lot of that time but despite wanting to read it I never found the time to. Well when the chance to review the sequel for a book tour came up I knew it was time because you can’t read the sequel without having read the first book and I’m so glad I did. Besides that I have a fascination with all things to do with midwifery especially pertaining to long ago times such as the 1930’s when this book takes place. The Midwife of Hope River is about so much more than just birthing babies – it’s about struggling in hard times, friendship, heartbreak, and above all hope in new life, whether it be a birth or a rediscovery of one’s self.Taking place in the 1930’s we meet Patience Murphy who is an Appalachian midwife. Patience came to Hope River to escape her own haunting past. Patience, being new to the community, doesn’t turn anyone in need away. She births babies for everyone – the rich, the poor, the black, the white. Along the way she makes some good friends like Bitsy who ends up being her assistant. I loved Bitsy who was a strong, intelligent black woman with a wit that often had me smiling. As they attend births and experience both joy and sadness Patience finds herself reflecting on her own past and all that has happened to bring her to where she is now. As the two women become closer Patience is given a first hand look at what it is like to be a black woman in the 1930’s. People look down on Patience for having Bitsy living with her and assisting her but Patience doesn’t budge. She isn’t going to have anyone tell her who she can be friends with or work with for that matter. As tensions rise though Patience wonders if she will be able to keep the both of them safe.I loved this story and what I thought most impressive was the reality portrayed in the pages of this book and then I found out that Patricia Harman is herself a certified midwife and it all made sense. When you read a book like this you thank your lucky stars that you live in the times of modern medicine. As Harman describes the births and how harrowing they could be with babies or mothers dying you can understand how hard it was for women back then. Some women could afford to go to a hospital but a great majority and especially the ones that Patience administered to could not. More than that most couldn’t pay for the services either. They paid in food or whatever they could and Patience accepted that as well because more often than not she needed what they were offering as payment. I loved the author’s writing as well. She so vividly describes the sights, sounds, and smells of the births that I felt I was in those homes with those country folk just praying all would go well. What I feel most thankful for is that nowadays with modern medicine many more women and children make it even through the most harrowing of circumstances.For fans of historical fiction and novels on midwifery I think The Midwife of Hope River is one of the best I’ve read. I listened to the audiobook which was narrated by Anne Wittman and oh my she does a good job from the birthing scenes to the highly emotional tone of this novel at times. She truly does bring this novel alive for the listener. Highly recommended.
