review 1: I just adored this book. I didn't grow up in the south, or in the time that this book took place, and even though I have seen movies, and read stories I was still appalled by the "Eugenics Program". The book didn't end the way that I was expecting. I always enjoy being surprised ...

review 1: Enjoyable read. Although it wasn't hard to figure out the mysteries involved, the writer developed the plot with enough characterization and details to make it interesting. When Riley goes to clean out her father's house after his sudden death, she finds out that her sister who...

review 1: First I have to mention that I am not a fan of how the new trend seems to be writers release little snippets almost as prologues to entice people to buying their next book. So why did I want to read this then? Diane Chamberlain is one of my favorite authors and so of course I was...

review 1: Diane Chamberlain's books and Jodi Picoult's books are definitely cut from the same cloth (Picoult's are faster paced, Chamberlain's more prone to excess verbiage, but also more developed characters), and the Midwife's Confession fits that bill. The book is good- it kept me read...

review 1: Almost didn't finish this because the beginning was confusing at first. Each chapter is a character in the book. At first I was thinking "wait, who is this person again" but then I started to get it. Sometimes I can put a book down for a day or two and know what was going on w...

review 1: I have found a love for Diane's books. She writes incredible stories with plots and twists which I crave from novels. This story was a good one although not my favorite by her. I didn't see the twists in this book as much as her other ones. I didn't foresee the ending that happen...

review 1: This is a prequel to Necessary Lies. However, I don't believe it's written in such a way that you should actually read it first. Read Necessary Lies first and when you want another dose of the characters, read this. This short story just pissed me off about the whole book again! ...

review 1: Hmm..what shall I say? This cannot be matched with The Midwife's confession which kept me up all night and kept me guessing the mystery. With this book, there's not much suspense. No doubt there were little surprises at the end but more than two third of the book was pretty borin...

review 1: This is a story of true friendships, loving marriages, and the inevitable teenager mother-daughter conflict. No one would suspect the trauma that would descend on three families. It is a journey for all as they attempt to redefine who they are. A breakup with a boyfriend, the ...

review 1: This is not an easy read. But it is a must. It left me emotionally raw, and totally exhausted. I need to go and hug my son! It is an incredibly emotional novel about mothers and daughters, about friendship, about love and loss. It will make you cry...but it will also fill you wit...

review 1: I loathed this book. Dreadful, awful characters. Weird and disjointed storyline and character development. Nasty scenes I had to skip over. Sudden bursts of filthy language. When the main heart-throb (a self-proclaimed minister and adulterer) drowns at sea because a whale ov...
