Little Earthquakes: A Novel (Washington Square Press) Paperback – Import, 28 June 2005

Really wanted to enjoy this book but some errors in detail/continuity made characters less believable....first silly error was during a strange food sex scene where male character was on sofa shirt off on one page then a few lines later magically in just shirt and socks! The error made me giggle but careless really.Next detail was one character (Becky) using formula on nipple to encourage baby to latch...why wouldnt she just use a bit of hand expressed breastmilk? Just odd. Book is all about mothers and babies yet this detail doesn't ring true.I like the characters and overall stories but the errors made me stop believing.

A nice story about four mothers from different backgrounds and in different circumstances who become friends after meeting at a prenatal yoga group. I heard many good thing about this book from a number of different people but personally, I thought it was ok but would by no means rave about it. I found the characters quite one dimensional and the story followed a predictable course, I have read many books with a similar storyline and a number of them did a better job of it.

As someone who is 'at that age' of talking about babies etc, I devoured this book as a beach read on holiday. It's about a group pf very different women who are expecting and in very different situations, but who end up as great friends. Heartwarming.

A great read when pregnant !

I love this book - a great story for mums to be to read.
