Summary
Welcome to the beautiful seaside town of Port Agnes.
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 story, perfect for fans of Christie Barlow, Jessica Redland and Holly Martin!
This book was previously published as Return to Port Agnes.
Critic reviews
"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)

Good story but a little too sugary sweet.
Good story and easy to listen to, but very sugary . Too much emotion and navel gazing , it would have been better if it had been less pink and fluffy . Narrator seemed as if she was whispering it half the time , which was a bit odd. Sorry !

Beautifully read
Perfect delivery by the narrator. The story was really good, I liked all the characters, some bits regarding the midwife angle of the novel had me literally holding my breath, one had me welling up! I was that caught up in the story. Without any plot ruining the story line does touch upon fertility journeys/complications in pregnancy etc so if you want to avoid that for personal reasons pick another to listen to. I’d recommend this to all who love a good romantic novel and the Cornish setting came across beautifully. Loved it .

Inaccurate midwifery information
Babies do not slow down at the end of pregnancy and it is a very harmful old wives tale to say so.

Light listening
A nice light listen.. found a little “preachy” sometimes on midwifery terminology. Excellent narration. However with all the moralising I was glad to get to the end

Cheesy and predictable. I loved it !
No surprise in this book. It’s a lovely easy story that was just what I wanted in as escapism in a stressful world.

Worth a listen
A fairly predictable story but based in a beautiful place, easy to imagine. A few twists and turns & an easy listen. I enjoyed this far more than I thought I would.
