About this listen
‘Brutally powerful . . . Totally absorbing’ Independent
‘A gripping, honest and moving account of healthcare work in a war zone’ Henry Marsh, author of Do No Harm
At twenty-six years old, Anna Kent helped a woman deliver her baby in a tropical storm by the light of a headtorch. At age thirty she would be responsible for the female health of 30,000 Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh. But returning to work for the NHS in the UK, she soon learned that even at home the right to a safe birth was impossible to take for granted.
Frontline Midwife is Kent’s compassionate testament to the critical work of healthcare professionals around the world.
‘An extraordinary, profoundly moving, all-consuming memoir’ Oliver Burkeman, author of Four Thousand Weeks
‘The heart-wrenching tale of one midwife’s quest to help others – and make peace with herself’ Leah Hazard, author of Hard Pushed©2022 Anna Kent and Julia Gregson (P)2022 Bloomsbury Publishing Plc

Bearing witness
Such an important story to be told - bearing witness to lives of suffering, poverty, and the consequences of the low status of women - and telling their stories to those of us in the world of privilege.

Wow- fantastic and riveting listen
Such a powerful and brave story and so good to be read by the author Anna, ensuring perfect intonation and how conversations spoken about would’ve sounded at the time. Thanks so much for sharing so much of your experience both personal and that of others whose lives you’ve touched. I’ve always wanted to know what it would really be like providing care in places like Sudan, this book paints a clear picture of peoples circumstances and life working in the field.
