A review by coleycole
Daughter's Keeper by Ayelet Waldman

4.0

Waldman's style is simple and straight-forward, which lets her riff on a host of themes, ranging from the criminal justice system and mandatory minimums, to motherhood and birth, to the complications of race and class. She also manages to look at these themes using practically all of her characters, who are different enough that they give the reader a well-rounded picture of each issue. Waldman manages to do all that without seeming preachy, either.
