How she does it ? Each one of her books is amazing . I should say that this one was the most emotional for me . This is Izzy and Noah story . She was raised by her grandparents because her mother never wanted her . Now her grandma is dying and she trying to spent as much time with her as possible . The new vicar is a young man who is having douth about his faith . Her grandma is the one who will bring them together . Together they help a couple who lost ther baby . I loved that we see again all the midwives .
I received this book from net galley and the publisher as an ARC. Thank you! All thoughts and opinions are my own.

How lovely to catch up with the busy midwives at Port Agnes unit.
Lovely to catch up on the babies being born.
This book has sensitively dealt with many taboo subjects and it was a book I cried out and sobbed with in many places.
The book introduced the new fit vicar Noah and he was lovely to read about and to see him grow unseen he love of Eileen and his Godfather Jeremy.
This was a lovely book.
Thank you Netgalley for the arc in exchange for an honest review.

Another hit in the series of the Cornish Midwives. This one has Izzy, who is saddened that her grandmother is dying. When her grandmother reaches out to Noah, the visiting vicar, Izzy and him get closer too. Another sweet and yet sad story in a wonderful series. Have enjoyed reading about each of the midwives. Highly recommend.

A good, emotion packed romance between midwife Izzy and the local priest Noah. A really good look at their journeys as they both deal with huge emotional upheaval coming and upsetting their calm and orderly lives. This is part of a series and whilst it can be read as a standalone, it really is hard to follow the many supporting characters if you don’t follow the order. Some really hard topics such as IVF, foetal loss and a crisis of faith are covered very sensitively.

I absolutely love the Cornish midwife
Series so was eagerly looking forward to reading this one which is the fifth instalment in the series. These books
Can be read standalone if you haven’t read the series but for the full enjoyment I highly recommend you
Read them all.

This story concentrated on the character of Izzy as the central focal point of the story although the other
Midwife’s and inhabitants of Port Agnes also feature including the introduction of Noah the new stand in vicar of the parish who is the subject of lots of attention albeit not always of the welcomed variety.
Can Noah help Izzy to work her way through how she is feeling about her grandma nonna illness and can Izzy help Noah to work through what is going on behind the closed doors of the church and in his heart.

This was a heartwarming yet heartbreaking in places instalment and I was hooked from the first page and almost read it in one sitting. It felt fabulous to be transported back to the amazing midwifes and the fabulous job they do caring from the people of port Agnes. These books have a real
Community spirit of friendship love and kindness and how everyone works together to make living their a better place.

This is the 5th in the series and the best by far . This series gets better and better, you can read as a stand alone . Very sad at times but it was written in a peaceful way. I loved the vicar. Fit made me laugh. The midwife team are amazing . Just a great story. Makes you want to live in Cornwall..

Thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for an advance copy of this book in exchange for a review. This is the latest book in the Cornish Midwife series and although you don't have to have read the previous books in order to enjoy this one, I'd recommend you do because Port Agnes is a lovely place to be and the team of midwives are a fabulous bunch of people to get to know.

This book mainly concentrates on Izzy who is trying to come to terms with the fact that she doesn't have long left with her beloved Nonna and what life will be like for her and her Grandfather and we have Noah who has been sent to Port Agnes to cover the absence of the Reverend Sampson. Unfortunately Noah has his own troubles with a crisis of faith and worries about how he can offer comfort to the community.

Fabulous to be back in Port Agnes and I'm already looking forward to my next trip.
