Wonderfully heartwarming tale about Peggy Cassidy and her journey to become a fully qualified midwife and to find her soulmate. I loved all the period detail of 1930s Ireland, also the vivid depiction of what medical care and childbirth were like for pregnant women generations ago.
Definitely a book for fans of Call the Midwife.

Outstanding - the best book I have read this year. I learnt so much from it as well as being engrossed in the storyline. Having visited both Dublin and Belfast I could picture the places being described as the book was so well written. The characters were all likeable and very easy to relate too. I find it sad to think that people who were only trying to help were punished in such a way.

Reading the final part of the book I couldn't put it down and said to my husband I was staying up late to finish it. There were so many twists and turns that I didn't see coming not least Granda's birthday party which reduced me to tears! I was devastated to read the last page but elated to see there was more coming!

Thank you so much to NetGalley, the publishers and of course the author for writing such a brilliant book and allowing me to read and review an Arc copy.

A page turning historical fiction about midwifery which I find interesting. I was invested in the plot and the characters. I enjoyed the experience of bringing a baby into the world. It is a Irish setting which I haven't read much of so I feel it is unique. The characters are strong women with a hard work ethic.

The Irish midwife, a new author to me and will definitely be reading more books. A great historical read,

Read and reviewed in exchange for a free copy from Netgalley. Although I love midwifery themed books and books set against the backdrop of the 1930s and 1940s, the blurb of this book intrigued me, but didn't grab me. However, I am so pleased I gave it a chance. I read it in a matter of hours. The writing was excellent, with a vivid scene and engaging characters. It was well paced and I was invested in the plot, and the Irish setting added a dimension not often found in this genre. I am excited to read the next in the series.

An excellent story set in my home country! A most interesting insight into the lives and work of midwives throughout the 1930s. Most likeable characters and a great story, I look forward to seeing more by this author.

This was a lovely read. Very interesting and as it was set in Ireland made it different. Gave me an insight into how things worked in this era. My thanks to netgalley and the publishers for giving me the opportunity to read this book in return for an honest review.

Firstly thank you Netgalley for this Arc
