About this listen
All’s fair in love and war…but what happens when the war is over?
After the heartbreak of World War Two, newlywed midwife Cathy hoped Liverpool life would offer some joy. But a terrible miscarriage and the escape of her abusive stepfather Jack from prison make happiness hard to find.
Meanwhile, Cathy’s beloved granny is ailing. Whilst at the hospital, Cathy sees her midwifery friends, who are planning to open a home for unmarried mothers. After losing a baby of her own, Cathy would love to help, but for now, she must take care of her grandmother.
As her granny’s health worsens, she writes Cathy a letter. The day her grandmother dies, Cathy goes home and opens the envelope: Thank you for giving me a reason to live. Everything I have in the world is yours now, my darling. Cathy is devastated but determined to honor her granny’s memory, hoping the maternity home can be her legacy.
Just as Cathy and her friends are about to open their doors to the first expectant mothers, Jack is spotted in Liverpool. It’s only a matter of time until her cruel stepfather catches up with her, determined to pay her back for getting him locked up in prison. Can Cathy keep herself and her grandmother’s legacy safe, and see Jack sent away for good at last?
The Midwives of Lark Lane is a heart-wrenching saga about how the best friendships can help you through the worst of times. If you’re a fan of Nadine Dorries, Diney Costeloe, and Kitty Neale, you’ll love Pam Howes!

"An emotional roller coaster of a read that captivated me, and had me on the edge of my seat.… The story had me so engrossed that I couldn’t get on with my everyday life until I had finished it. If you enjoy a heart-warming saga that makes for a compulsive read, then look no further than this author’s books. They are truly wonderful." (By the Letter Book Reviews)

I have loved all these book but preferred Georgia
McGuires narrating. Her accent seems to suit the books much better

More Coronation St than Liverpool
I agree with another reviewer who didn’t like the change of narrator.
Liane is a great narrator just not right for this book.
Georgia McGuire narrated the other 2 books in the series and I feel her accents were better.
The narration of this book is more Coronation St and less Liverpool and Gianni’s Italian family has gone from a pronounced Italian accent to a distinct ‘Corrie’ accent which I’m finding very distracting. Not sure if I will continue.

Change in narrator
Loved the series!
Disappointed with this book as the narrator changed the pronunciation of names and I found this distracting. May not be a big deal for some but for me I found that it changed the mental images of the characters.

That voice!
I was so looking forward to this book! I had throughout enjoyed the previous stories in the series. Chapter one started, and I am wondering who Jonny is (rather than Gianni). The reader's accent and pronunciation is simply is not up to previous books. Let alone the screaming into the microphone. the storyline was good enjoyable though.

Too many changes
I Love the stories. This one was a bit different as the narrator or narration was very irritating, for some reason when she went into character she basically screamed the words. Also, having listened to these in order, the accent was also Changed from the previous books. I did not enjoy listening to this book.
