A haunting and moving historical fiction, The Midwife by Tricia Cresswell is perfect for fans of The Familiars and The Binding.
Set in 1838, the story follows a woman who is found alone, naked, and near death on the Northumberland moors. She has no memory of who she is or how she got there, but she possesses remarkable skills in childbirth and wound dressing, as well as fluency in French. Despite the odds against her, a penniless single woman, she begins to build her life from scratch, using her skills to help other women around her. She finds a sense of happiness and fulfillment in her work, until tragedy strikes and she is forced to run for her life.
Dr. Borthwick, a prominent accoucheur in London, leads a solitary life, working with his midwife and volunteering in the slums of the Devil's Acre alongside a young widow, Eleanor Johnson. His professional reputation is unblemished, and he maintains a strict separation between his private and professional lives. However, he is hiding a dark secret from his past that threatens to unravel everything.
As the story unfolds, Dr. Borthwick's past comes to light, revealing a tragic event that has shaped his character and led him to isolate himself from others. He must confront his past and the consequences of his actions, as well as the impact they have had on his life and the lives of those around him.
The Midwife is a beautifully written and emotionally charged novel that explores the complexities of human nature, the power of resilience, and the importance of forgiveness. It is a must-read for fans of historical fiction and those who appreciate a well-crafted story that leaves a lasting impression.
