Critic reviews
"I love second chance stories. I love returning home stories. So a book combining both is an absolute winner for me. The Cornish Midwife is simply gorgeous. Stunning setting, wonderful characters and oozing with warmth. A triumph from Jo Bartlett and a cracking start to what promises to be a fabulous series." (Jessica Redland)
"Perfectly written and set in the beating heart of a community, this story is a wonderful slice of Cornish escapism." (Helen J. Rolfe)

Good story but a little too sugary sweet.
Good story and easy to listen to, but very sugary . Too much emotion and navel gazing , it would have been better if it had been less pink and fluffy . Narrator seemed as if she was whispering it half the time , which was a bit odd. Sorry !

Beautifully read
Perfect delivery by the narrator. The story was really good, I liked all the characters, some bits regarding the midwife angle of the novel had me literally holding my breath, one had me welling up! I was that caught up in the story. Without any plot ruining the story line does touch upon fertility journeys/complications in pregnancy etc so if you want to avoid that for personal reasons pick another to listen to. I’d recommend this to all who love a good romantic novel and the Cornish setting came across beautifully. Loved it .

Inaccurate midwifery information
Babies do not slow down at the end of pregnancy and it is a very harmful old wives tale to say so.

Light listening
A nice light listen.. found a little “preachy” sometimes on midwifery terminology. Excellent narration. However with all the moralising I was glad to get to the end

Cheesy and predictable. I loved it !
No surprise in this book. It’s a lovely easy story that was just what I wanted in as escapism in a stressful world.

Worth a listen
A fairly predictable story but based in a beautiful place, easy to imagine. A few twists and turns & an easy listen. I enjoyed this far more than I thought I would.
