The Midwife's Revolt

Historically moderately interesting, but one-dimensional characters and deadly dull narrative. We know nothing really about Hannah and Isaac. How did they meet? Why do they love each other? How did Hannah become a midwife? What happened to her parents? I have no reason to root for either character (other than the fact that the author tells me I should) because they don't come alive at all. If this wasn't a book club selection I would never have finished it.
