About this listen
This audiobook includes a touching acknowledgements chapter read by the author, Tricia Cresswell.
A haunting and moving historical fiction, The Midwife by Tricia Cresswell is perfect for fans of The Familiars and The Binding.
1838. After a violent storm, a woman is found alone, naked and near death, on the Northumberland moors. She has no memory of who she is or how she got there. But she can remember how to help a woman in labour and how to expertly dress a wound, and can speak fluent French. With the odds against her, a penniless single woman, she starts to build her life from scratch, using her skills to help other women around her. She finds a happy place in the world. Until tragedy strikes, and she must run for her life . . .
In London, Dr Borthwick lives a solitary life working as an accoucheur dealing with mothers and babies in the elegant homes of high society together with his midwife, and volunteering in the slums of the Devil’s Acre alongside a young widow, Eleanor Johnson. His professional reputation is spotless and he keeps his private life just as clean, isolating himself from any new acquaintances. But he is harbouring a dark secret from his past – one that threatens to spill over everything.

Fascinating story
Really enjoyed this book… an unexpected twist kept me wanting to hear more, but then I’d fall asleep and have to backtrack !

Fabulous story
This is a terrific tale set in Victorian times. Very evocative writing. Make sure you listen to the Epilogue.
Highly recommended.

A great listen for when you can concentrate
A really interesting historical plot and a lovely weave of 2 narratives occurring in two different timelines. it is a lovely book but full of many minor characters and time skips which means you have to be listening carefully and rewind and relisten a bit.

Historical Fiction
Very enjoyable historical fiction. The facts presented in the epilogue tie the fictional account together.

The midwife
Good story, a little hard to follow at times. Going from different times in her life. Found myself rewinding.

very enjoyable book
I really enjoyed this book.
it was a bit difficult to follow at times but that could be because of the short intervals I listened sometimes. Well worth the purchase
