The Book of the Unnamed Midwife

By the end of this I just felt an overwhelming sense of....eh?

So the start of the book makes a deal of this being a journal, but then within a few paragraphs just changes to a normal third person past perspective so seemed pointless.

There was very little likeable about the main character apart from the fact she wanted to help the few women she came across with birth control.

I did like the whole apocalyptic setting and some of the interactions with people she met but it didn't save the book for me.

It just didn't do a great deal so I'm not really understanding the rave reviews and awards.
