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. This made me understand the initial reaction of Ella, but it also makes me think she was a bit of drama queen in the last part of the book as she already mapped the worst case scenario and was ready to let the illness win. The story focuses on Ella again as she is preparing to marry Dan but receives some unexpected news about her health. It is a powerful well written story and emotional at times. There are some hard subjects covered but the author handles them with great care. There are many challenges to living with a disease, but for Ella, the worst is how people look at her now. A Change of Heart for the Cornish Midwife is going to tug at those heartstrings and have you feeling those big feelings.

The Cornish Midwife: The top 10 bestselling uplifting

This latest Cornish Midwife story is well up to the standards of its predecessors. In addition to the ongoing romances amongst the team, there are some darker themes when some characters and patients are faced with some serious health issues which are life changing. Facing up to such news and recalibrating your expectations for their lives proves to be a challenge for some and adds a certain bite to the story. The second diagnosis was an auto-immune illness, Sjogren syndrome, an illness that can cause chronic pain and force you to take plenty of drugs to keep the symptoms under controlThe only critique I have is that there were one too many similar twists towards the conclusion of the book which didn't necessarily have to be included to reach the same end. I felt for Dan in the book but often felt that his point of view would have been appreciated a bit more often. As her symptoms worsen, she struggles to keep them a secret from those closest to her. When she lands in Hospital after an emergency, she's forced to admit what she has been hiding. Then, when she receives a formal diagnosis, her life seems to spiral. Will Ella begin to adjust to her new normal or persevere to her detriment? This is an incredible addition to the series, and I devoured this in about a day, especially once I knew what Ella was dealing with I had to keep reading to see how things would pan out. Wonderful writing, and well more please, I need the next book already!! A Change of Heart for the Cornish Midwife is a story of a strong woman, whose life is just about perfect. She has the job that she loves, lovely friends and a fiance that she loves more than anything. They are planning a wedding, renovating a house and generally looking forward to what's to come. 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.

The Cornish Midwife: An emotional A Leap of Faith For The Cornish Midwife: An emotional

Beautifully written, with a storyline that's as heartbreaking as it is heartwarming. A Change of Heart is a story of hope, relationships put to the test and the power of love.It’s ok for Ella and Dan to reconcile and readers would be glad of that . However giving them the chance to talk privately and listen attentively to each other would do better than having five people lecture Ella into staying with him. 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. It's a very real tale, of dealing with a difficult diagnosis. But it's also a tale of resilience, of a woman's journey from denial, and anger to final acceptance of her life as it is and learning to live with what she has. 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. A Change Of Heart For The Cornish Midwife tells Ella and Dans story. Ella and Dan a due to be married when Dans pregnant sister causes them to change the date.

The Cornish Midwife Series by Jo Bartlett - Goodreads

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. 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. 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. Then she got the diagnosis, with Multiple Sclerosis. Ella has a hard time coping with it and mostly tries to ignore it. And my tears flowed a lot of the time reading this book, the author has done a superb job, this book is definitely a heart breaker.A Change of Heart for the Cornish Midwife is filled with so much emotion and heart you cannot put it down. 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. 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. This is a beautiful written story about someone dealing with a life changing diagnosis and how it impacts on them, their family and friends. There are so many wonderful side characters sharing various life experiences as well. It was very emotional but also heartwarming.
