The Cornish Midwife: The top 10 bestselling uplifting escapist read from Jo Bartlett (The Cornish Midwife Series Book 1)

Product Information

Thanks #NetGalley @BoldwoodBooks for a complimentary e ARC of #AChangeOfHeartForTheCornishMidwife upon my request. All opinions are my own. In addition to themes common to midwifery, pregnancy, and delivery of babies, other thoughtful themes include women supporting women, slow-burn romance, family support, moving forward, health issues, and close-knit community. A Change of Heart for the Cornish Midwife is heavier in tone than the other books (in my opinion) because the main character faces a difficult health diagnosis and a physical disability. The romance is already established for this couple in the first book of the series, but this story causes us to wonder what will happened when they are faced with a life challenge. I read some critics about Ella not accepting help, I think this can happen as you don’t want pity and want to be treated like a “normal” person. Books in this series are always poignant and heart-warming at same time, they move me to tears and make me smile. Continuing a strong theme of women supporting women, A Change of Heart for the Cornish Midwife by Jo Bartlett is #7 in the heartfelt Cornish Midwife series.

This one was one that hit close to home as I lived the trauma of a life changing diagnosis twice in the last years and I know the rollercoaster of emotions. Diabetes is bit less dramatic than MS, but it can kill you unless you decide to change your lifestyle and that’s what I had to do.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How is this already the seventh book in the series? I've been on board from the very first book and I've enjoyed them all immensely. I have loved this series set in Port Agnes about the lives of the midwives and their families. It’s Ella and Dan’s wedding coming up and Dan’s sisters baby coming early causes them to change the date. Ella herself has not been feeling well but is ignoring her symptoms so when she collapses and ends up hospitalised she has plenty to worry about.

There are weddings and christenings in this story which underline the strong family ties which you are aware of. The wider community proves to be as important as ever but the overall message seems to be that you should seize the day and be prepared to re-evaluate your life choices when necessary without making impetuous decisions and bearing in mind others' wants and wishes. Ella and Dan’s path to marriage certainly isn’t a smooth one – with work on their new home progressing apace and the wedding date drawing nearer, they need to postpone it again when an important member of the family (for very good reasons) isn’t able to be there. A new date is fixed – but they then face a whole new set of problems when Ella’s numbness in her limbs and disturbances to her vision prove to be considerably more serious than they could have ever thought. The story centres on their emotional response to the situation, and how they deal with it – Ella in denial, continuing to train for a fund-raising marathon, concerned about her ability to continue doing the work she loves, Dan being as practical as he can be in preparing for the future. But the whole situation is considerably more complicated than that – they’re both wrestling with a range of considerations and, at a time when they should be closer than ever, the issues begin to drive them apart. It's also a story of friendship, a changing dynamic of the relationship. The story is told with a lot of heart and features many wonderful characters. If you want a light and airy story this is not the right one, if you want a well written and thought-provoking novel read it.As the 8th book in the Cornish Midwife series, there has already been incredible depth built into the characters and town. This story built on that and I was blown away by the raw way in which Ella's thoughts, feelings and experiences have been shared.

Content Consideration: infertility, degenerative disease, a difficult health diagnosis, disabilities The characters are the best part of the Cornish Midwife series. Each installment in the series focuses on a character who works as a midwife in the community and faces a personal life crisis. In this story, Ella faces a difficult health diagnosis and life with a disability. We witness her fear, resiliency, and determination. I’ve loved reading Jo’s Cornish Midwife series so I was quite excited for this, it’s definitely one that you’ll need some tissues for though as I found it the most emotional of the bunch.Ella and Dan's relationship is tested to the limit when Ella is given a devastating diagnosis after she collapses. The latest installment in this series. I'd not suggest this be the first you read. While good as someone who has read all the others and know the history, I enjoyed it. But it is really not a romance at all and focuses on the issues around disability and learning to move on in life when you or a loved one has a degenerative disease diagnosis. I have dealt with one of the conditions mentioned and I have a close friend with a similar diagnosis to Ella so reading this was emotional at times. I did feel, however, that the author has written about this very well.
