The Top 10 Bestseller for fans of Call The Midwife!
A fresh start…
Midwife Ella Mehenick left the small Cornish town of Port Agnes for London and never looked back. But when her seemingly perfect life crashes down around her, there’s only one place she can heal her battered heart - the place she once called home.
A new arrival…
Ella is quickly welcomed into the small community midwife team and loves her new job caring for mums and their precious babies – it’s what she does best! But being back also means facing ex-flame Dan Ferguson…the first man to break her heart.
A second chance at love?
Dan is still as gorgeous as ever, but he’s never forgiven Ella for leaving. And now she’s back it’s clear that there is unfinished business between them. As Ella settles into her new/old life, she can’t stop the memories of how she once loved Dan so completely – and maybe never stopped.
Maybe coming home to Cornwall is Ella's chance to love again…
Meet The Cornish Midwives of Port Agnes- where community, friendship and love are always delivered.
An uplifting and escapist read, perfect for fans of Christie Barlow, Jessica Redland and Holly Martin!
This book was previously published as Return to Port Agnes.

"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)

An easy fun listen
Chapter 18 and 19 are just ridiculous. The main characters over-the-top “Oh I’m so stoic and silently pained” is I felt totally redundant given the book is set in current times where the internet, mobile telephones and police exist. Loved the rest of the book though, an easy listen.

Confusing
Found the voice definition between characters was confusing. Story rather drawn out. Too predictable. Loved the setting though

Perfectly passable
This was a “nice”, if predictable, story. The writing never really grabbed my attention and I had to rewind a number of times as my attention would drift and pivotal moments flew by.
The main character was painfully oblivious, which meant that the narrative was pushed through by the plot.
Not something I’d pick up again, though it may be perfectly enjoyable for someone else.

Self-inflicted victimhood
The constant Self-inflicted victimhood of the main character took much too long. What a shame

Easy listening and feel good
Low key story line, likeable characters, predictable… but description and well narrated. Loved that this novel focused on midwifery and the enormous responsibility and and skills they have.

not my cup of tea
I don't usually read this genre so my opinion is biased but this is a ridiculous story. while there were some promising moments it all became a little too.... perfect... but most annoying was the lenses through which the main character looked at situations... aaarrrggghhh more like a teenage romance novel than a heartfelt story of a midwife.
