Half marks on this one, one of my longest outstanding books I have brought and not read so satisfying to tick it off.

The book goes on a bit too long but it didn't totally outstay its welcome. 

I got fairly emotionally invested in what had happened to Millie and how that impacted her relationship with her daughter. 

book deals with childloss, in a pretty horrific way, she has a c-section and the doctor is drunk and drops the baby, he also ties her tubes when she expressly states this is against her wishes and leads her to a dependency on barbiturates. The doctor also commits suicide because of his guilt.
