Read and reviewed in exchange for a free copy from Netgalley. Although I love midwifery themed books and books set against the backdrop of the 1930s and 1940s, the blurb of this book intrigued me, but didn't grab me. However, I am so pleased I gave it a chance. I read it in a matter of hours. The writing was excellent, with a vivid scene and engaging characters. It was well paced and I was invested in the plot, and the Irish setting added a dimension not often found in this genre. I am excited to read the next in the series.

An excellent story set in my home country! A most interesting insight into the lives and work of midwives throughout the 1930s. Most likeable characters and a great story, I look forward to seeing more by this author.

This was a lovely read. Very interesting and as it was set in Ireland made it different. Gave me an insight into how things worked in this era. My thanks to netgalley and the publishers for giving me the opportunity to read this book in return for an honest review.
