Review of `Conception Diary: Thinking About Pregnancy & Motherhood',
By
This review is from: Conception Diary: Thinking About Pregnancy and Motherhood (Paperback)
`I read the first couple of pages and I was so gripped that I spent half my day reading it from cover to cover! ...a unique resource for student midwives who are looking at women's lives from women's perspectives. A sense of humour permeates this book and makes it very reader-friendly as well as insightful. In fact, the combination of Susan's sense of humour, her frankness... and the way she occasionally asks questions as if she was having a chat with the reader over a cup of coffee made me want to phone her up to chat about the issues. I would heartily recommend this book to every midwife, no matter whether you are looking for a deeper insight into social aspects of conception, motherhood and women's lives, or an interesting book to read on the beach.' (Sara Wickham, The Practicing Midwife Journal. Vol. 9. No. 8. September 2006. p.40.)
