The March book is Frozen River by Ariel Lawhon. In 1789 Maine, midwife Martha Ballard investigates the death of a man found in the frozen Kennebec River, a person she once accused of raping a woman in her care. Based on a real person, Martha Ballard’s journal informs this novel. “A Midwife’s Tale” is the true story of her journal and the archivist who found it. We will discuss this book on Wednesday, March 11 at the Mattapoisett Library. The morning group will meet at 10:00; the afternoon group will meet at 1:00.
Call or email Gail Roberts to RSVP or if you have any questions.
