Does anyone know a site where you can read summaries, character analysis, themes, etc. etc. (sort of like Sparknotes) about the book A Midwife's Tale? I've already tried Sparknotes.com, not they didn't have it....

oops, meant to say "but they didn't have it", not "not they didn't have it"

Are you talking about the book written by Laurel Thatcher Ulrich based on the diary of Martha Ballard, a midwife who practiced in Maine in the late 18th & early 19th century? Here is a link...

Now just do a yahoo search on A Midwife's Tale. I read the book -it's a fantastic book. I believe it won the pulitzer prize for history in like 1990. Here's another interesting link:

Check Chaucer's CANTERBURY TALES and see if that was not one of the tales told by one of the pilgrims. If so, it would not be a book unto itself, but part of Chaucer's collection of tales.
Chow!!
