A change of subject, but one triggered by Soo's mention of 'The Memory Keeper's Daughter'. I too was about to highlight this novel an example of 'something' used to render the woman unconscious during the birth of her twins. I am interested in the use of novels as part of the reading list for midwifery students. I frequently recommend novels that I think illustrate particular concepts or ideas for students. I usually suggest they read these novels when they have time after they have finished their course, however I' m beginning to think about including some of these on the reading lists that students are given. Going some way maybe to saying it's ok to be reading material other than text books. What do other people think and what books would you suggest? My most often suggested are, Vera Drake, The Red Tent, Small Island and maybe now The Memory Keepers Daughter. Judith Sunderland Midwifery Lecturer 020 7040 5490 20 Bartholomew Close EC1A 7QN
