Now she has come to Leeds for a fresh start as a trainee district nurse. But Agnes finds herself facing unexpected challenges as she is assigned to Quarry Hill, one of the city's most notorious slums.

District nursing between 2 World Wars
I enjoyed this book. But felt that it ended before it should have. An insight into nursing care between 2 World Wars. When patients were nursed with care and thoughtfulness, not just a number like they are in 2016.

BAD BAD LEEDS ACCENT
What did you like best about The Nurses of Steeple Street? What did you like least?
I loved the story of the book but found it hard to listen to due to the terrible accent people from Leeds don't speak like this its over exaggerated and cringe worthy. May not bother others but been from Leeds/Yorkshire myself i found i couldn't take the story in properly due to this.
What other book might you compare The Nurses of Steeple Street to, and why?
the nurses of lovely lane/call the midwife series
Would you be willing to try another one of Penelope Freeman’s performances?
Not if the accents are as bad as this performance!!
Could you see The Nurses of Steeple Street being made into a movie or a TV series? Who would the stars be?
no

Very enjoyable
I enjoyed Donna Douglas' Nightingale series, but I think I liked this story even better. The fresh set of characters provided a good mix and I found all the main story lines engaging. The plot was fairly predictable, but there were a few good twists. As always, Penelope Freeman read the story beautifully.

Beautifully Written
Well, from chapter one I was hooked.
After working in the community myself, helped me relate to the delightful characters, bought to life by the fantastic narration. Bravo!
Well worth the purchase. Off to start the next episode.

This book takes you on a journey into the past with such clarity that you feel as if you are a character in the take itself
The narrator was simply wonderful and instead of being a spectator just listening to a tale You became part of this emotional narrative journey. As a nurse myself for the past 38 years I have never felt more connected to my professional ancestry, Thank you
