“I LOVED this book when I read it many years ago. One thing that has remained vivid in my memory all these years was Margaret's invention of forceps for childbirth. She had to keep them absolutely secret because there could be no tools or methods of any kind to ease childbearing, since that would be against the will of God. Or so they thought at the time.
I haven't read any of the other books in the series. In fact, though I was vaguely aware that there was a sequel, I didn't know until I looked it up to put in on my book shelf that it was the first book in a full fledged series! ”
