Everything was going well this far. Well written, gorgeous prose. But then came the part where he describes the childbirth and I wanted to scream!!
“The nurses kept asking her if she was uncomfortable, if she was in pain, but she really wasn’t. Not comfortable, of course, but not in agony either.”
And then…
“After a few hours, she started to feel more pressure and reached her hand down, only to feel the baby’s hair. She shouted for a nurse. Fifteen minutes later, her child was in the world.”
Seriously?? Why? Why? I mean, why so lazy? It took me out of the prose and now I can’t go back. Please tell me it gets better?

What exactly is bothering you? Do you feel that it’s unrealistic for a birth to ever go this way?
