Meghan - I guess I forget that all people in the past were not prudes. :) Care - Yeah, it wasn't too bawdy. Though I have to say that I liked the bawdiness in <i>Midwife of the Blue Ridge</i> better. Debbie - I would definitely recommend <i>Midwife of the Blue Ridge</i>. I hope you can find a copy of it.

I've had Midwife of the Blue Ridge on my TBR list for awhile and just have not had a chance to get a copy of it yet. That one sounds really good too. This book sounds like fun.

So that part of this book didn't bother me; not all of the past was as uptight as the Victorians would have liked us to believe, especially regarding widows. =) The bawdy part didn’t bother me too much – the first book I read this year, Blindspot by Jane Kamensky and Jill Lepore, more or less opened my eyes to how racy Revolutionary America could be, and as they’re both historians, I thought it was a little more credible.
