I have just read "Year of Wonders" by Geraldine Brooks and
really enjoyed it. It is set in 1666 and describes the fortunes of an English
village during the plague through the eyes of a young woman. There is a story
line about midwifery and the views of people of that time in relation to
midwifery and how they were accused of being witches (I don't want to give the
storyline away).
Just thought I'd share that with you.
