So sad! This author has never been able to capture Lisbeth, he only has her name. Did he not read the 3 brilliant books he is supposed to be emulating? Lisbeth was endearingly neurodivergent not this touchy feely impersonator.

I am disappointed in the cast as the actors don't suit the characters. Jamie is a big strapping lad for his time, he was as tall as Abraham Lincoln(6'4") and all muscle with high cheek bones, aquiline nose etc. I do find the Jamie that is portrayed attractive but he is not Jamie Fraser. In her book Claire had a big butt and big breasts. Why do we have the skinny Hollywood bimbo type with no breasts and no butt !I am disappointed in the cast as the actors don't suit the characters.

I read this book in 1971 and I never forgot it. The only book I have remembered by title. I looked for the book over the years but was not successful in finding it. When I became computer literate I looked it up on used book sites but refused to pay $70 for a copy. The funny thing is that in my memories of it in the past and my rereading it just last month there is very little in common. I remembered it being about how the earth took over, nature reclaiming cities, overgrowing everything, the different plagues of rats and cockroaches. Yet the book only touched on these topics lightly in passing. I thought Ish took his people and traveled more but not so.. Funny how your memory can be so wrong. That is a great lesson. Makes me question my life's memories. But I still enjoyed it the second time.I read this book in 1971 and I never forgot it. The only book I have remembered by title.

I wouldn't say that this is a beautiful book, yes it is very slow to start and I was quite frustrated with the beginning and the only reason I kept reading was because of what everyone was saying.. It definitely got my attention when the boat sank. I found it very brutal at times. But enjoyed the imagination of the author ! so nice to read something totally different, not your usual story line.Am at present reading it for the second time and the beginning is still as boring as the first time reading it. The brutal scenes just as brutal. Haven't got to the island yet! Looking forward to it! Later.I wouldn't say that this is a beautiful book, yes it is very slow to start and I was quite frustrated with the beginning and the only reason I kept reading was because of what everyone was saying..

thoroughly enjoyed the midwife of Hope river.. It had me on the first page, I read it so fast I was disappointed when it was finished. Totally fell in love with Patience and Lizbeth and I felt every heartbreak they experienced.Will be reading it again soon. It was such a releif to find this book as I had been on a loosing streak for what seemed like a long long time as I kept striking out and not finding any books that could keep my interest going.thoroughly enjoyed the midwife of Hope river..
