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)

Very nice story

Enjoyed the story although it took a bit longer than needed for the main character to come to her senses. Loved the setting and narration. I’ve moved on to book 2 in the series & will probably listen to all of the books.

🤔 Political correctness?

I appreciate the bonus offerings on Audible. However, when I’m listening to an audiobook I don’t wish to be bombarded by what society currently thinks is correct. Three same sex partnerships do not lend anything to the story and could have been left out!

G rated, loved hearing about Cornwall

Beautifully read. Loved the characters and the dialect. It reminded me of a Hallmark movie.

Light and encouraging

A nice light read with an ending leaving you wanting to know how their future unfolds

Excellent

Great story. Twist and turns. Love and friendship. A very enjoyable read. Keep my interest straight to the end
