challenging dark emotional informative inspiring sad medium-paced

3.5

I wouldn’t have liked this book had I not seen the show. The writing style wasn’t for me, and I didn’t love the pacing of the story. The book kept me interesting though and I did really enjoy reading about the characters and stories from the show, so I will probably read the rest of the series

This book was full of sensitive reflections and life lessons that Jenny Worth learned when she was a midwife in England in the 1950s, 1960s, & 1970s. It was heartfelt and moving. And yes, much like the show, I did cry a few times!
