Monique and the Mango Rains - let the discussion begin!   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #289 of 360 |
We hope everyone has been enjoying their summer - and our summer book pick.
 
We encourage you all to start talking about Monique and the Mango Rains now! IT was such a wonderful, rich book filled with many themes. I loved it! I particularly liked learning so much about midwifery in a developing country.
 
We will get to talk with the author, Kris Holloway, at the end of AUgust.
 
Just a reminder our September book is Tina Cassidy's book, "Birth: the suprising History of How We were Born."
 
Warm wishes to all,
Karen

I thought the book was so well-written, and it was so interesting to read about Holloway's time spent with Monique. I found the most difficult and disturbing...
