dreamofbookspines's review against another edition
5.0
I loved that this was written in vernacular, but that also did make it harder to read. I found myself reading quite a bit of it out loud to myself, to capture the accent and really feel immersed in the book. Such an incredible story of one of the last granny-midwives working in Alabama. The style is meandering, like how Southerners talk, which I found charming and appropriate given the subject matter. Just something to be prepared for, especially if you aren't used to it.
