The emotional finale to the bestselling Cornish Midwife series! Get your tissues ready!
Midwife Jess is so used to helping other mums achieve their dreams that she’s put her own hopes of motherhood firmly on hold.After having her heart broken once before, Jess is determined to focus all she has on her small family and stepson Riley and make sure he feels safe, happy and loved.But when Jess is asked to care for a tiny baby and new mum in need of support, she’s torn. Jess wants to help, but she isn’t sure her battered heart could cope with saying goodbye to another baby she’s fallen in love with. Jess knows this could be the happy ever after she’s always dreamed of, but what if it costs her more heartache along the way? Is she brave enough to take one last chance at motherhood?
📖 My Review..
I have followed this wonderful series from the beginning and am really rather sorry to say goodbye to these lovely midwives who have, over the course of the series, become as familiar as friends, and ending with Jess's lovely story brings this series to a wonderful conclusion.
As always the story flows beautifully so much so that I read the book in one sitting during a particularly rainy Sunday and it certainly helped to chase away the rainy day blues. Whilst this book focuses on Jess and her search for baby happiness it also brings us up to date with what's been happening with Megan and her partner Johnny whose lives seem to be heading in a very different direction much to the chagrin of Meg's grown up daughter, Tilly. Both stories are compelling, and emotional, which again shows the depth of feeling, and compassion, which goes into every one of these books.
As it's the finale of the series there is a definite sense of the the tying up of loose ends and so it was really lovely to be able to imagine the characters going about their lives as change is about to happen for this little Cornish community, and with the opening of a bigger hospital the midwives are starting to go their separate ways. I think that's why the series has been so successful as it brings together a group of strong female characters whose bond of friendship, and sisterhood, has continued throughout and whilst this last book can, like all the others, be read as a standalone story, it does make sense to read the books in order, that way when you come to say goodbye to them all in Happy Ever After for the Cornish Midwife, you may well, like me, shed a little tear of fond farewell.
