The Cornish Midwife: A heartwarming A Surprise Arrival For The Cornish Midwife: A heartwarming

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. Ella and Dan's relationship is tested to the limit when Ella is given a devastating diagnosis after she collapses. 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. I have loved this series set in Port Agnes about the lives of the midwives and their families. It’s Ella and Dan’s wedding coming up and Dan’s sisters baby coming early causes them to change the date. Ella herself has not been feeling well but is ignoring her symptoms so when she collapses and ends up hospitalised she has plenty to worry about. Content Consideration: infertility, degenerative disease, a difficult health diagnosis, disabilities

Then she got the diagnosis, with Multiple Sclerosis. Ella has a hard time coping with it and mostly tries to ignore it.

I recommend A Change of Heart for the Cornish Midwife (and the entire series) for readers who love engaging women’s fiction with substantial themes, a focus on the midwife profession, and small coastal villages. The Cornish midwife series is a gently written, well-loved series for those looking to binge read women’s fiction with realistic characters. This is definitely a more emotional read. We have Ella’s story, which has taken a turn for the worst. I adore Ella, and I want good things for her. Her character is really struggling in this story; the MS diagnosis hits her hard, which of course, it would. I couldn’t imagine getting that kind of news and how I would react. My heart went out to Ella and Dan and watching as they both tried to come to terms with the fact that Ella has MS was tough. Watching this life they had planned out disappear, and their relationship break down was heartbreaking. What makes Jo’s books stand out so much is her attention to detail and the thought she puts into her writing. This is not an easy topic to discuss, but she handles it with care, and as a reader, I feel like I am learning something. 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?

Although I can't say much more, this is not a sob story, but an inspiring, delightful, and beautiful HEA story, so go grab it. 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. In addition to themes common to midwifery, pregnancy, and delivery of babies, other thoughtful themes include women supporting women, slow-burn romance, family support, moving forward, health issues, and close-knit community. A Change of Heart for the Cornish Midwife is heavier in tone than the other books (in my opinion) because the main character faces a difficult health diagnosis and a physical disability. The romance is already established for this couple in the first book of the series, but this story causes us to wonder what will happened when they are faced with a life challenge. This isn't your typical romance novel, but a very character driven book. You've got internal conflict, amazing side characters, brilliant narration, great representation for people of determination, and so much more.

So Elle does what makes the most sense to her. She runs from it and pretends it's all good. She does a lot more than she should and shut herself down from people that could support her. The latest installment in this series. I'd not suggest this be the first you read. While good as someone who has read all the others and know the history, I enjoyed it. But it is really not a romance at all and focuses on the issues around disability and learning to move on in life when you or a loved one has a degenerative disease diagnosis. There are many challenges to living with a disease, but for Ella, the worst is how people look at her now. Brand new from the top 10 bestselling author of The Cornish Midwife.Midwife Jess knows she’ll never have a baby of her own, but she’s determined to still be a mum. So Jess decides to foster, providing love and support for children who desperately... Well that is kind of the point and there is a very strong theme throughout the book about disabilities, living with them and the effect they have on your partner. It is incredibly eye opening, and I have to say if I was Ella, I'd probably be reacting in the same way.I adore the Cornish Midwife series and was excited to read book 7. This book can be read as a stand alone but I highly recommend reading this wonderful series and getting to know all the midwives. 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.

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. 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. The focus is our main character Ella who is dealing with a heavy physical diagnosis and her emotional journey as she rethinks her career which she is passionate about, and her beloved fiance. I believe this gives readers an idea on what the patient and immediate family and close friends would go through in such a situation. This is the start of sad events that change the future for Ella and Dan. Jo writes beautifully about how being diagnosed with a life changing condition can test even the strongest relationship. 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!!I do not want to spoil it by elaborating but this overshadowed the early chapters and then it became more annoying. I’m sure from the prologue it is believable but just went on too long and the conclusion was an “at last” moment! My goodness, this was an emotional one – a difficult subject so sensitively handled, heartbreaking at times, but doing so much to shed a light on the realities of facing a life-changing diagnosis and the many issues around living with a disability.
