Title: Lovely writing, but can't connect w character
Review: Like others, I expected to love this book. The writing is gorgeous -- perhaps distractingly so -- and I read it while traveling in Guatemala. Read the first 2/3, but finally gave up on the main character, the former midwife who spends the middle of the book waiting.....not delivering babies, not doing the very things we're told she believes in, but waiting, making phone calls, moping around. That's the problem with so much literary fiction: Not enough happens, and/or the characters are exquisitely drawn with lovely language, but don't have heart. I didn't care enough about any of the characters to keep reading. But lovely prose, no doubt about that.
