To Kill a Mockingbird is not one of the heavy classics that too often are more endured than enjoyed; it is a remarkable insight into an era that we can never experience, hidden in one of the most charming, heart breaking, and life affirming novels that I have read.
For me, this is one of the best books I have ever read. As an autobiography of a very special woman who revolutionised midwifery, Sheena Byrom’s amazing story of the life of a midwife, inspired and confirmed my ambition to be the same.
This is an amusing yet sensitive view on all things taboo. It covers everything from paternity to periods, peer-pressure to parenthood. This is the nitty-gritty in book form, as it takes you on the journey of two girls who stereotypically should hate each other but instead turn out to be the closest of friends.
