Critics Review
What a fascinating slice of social history. Seana Tinley has written a beautiful, lyrical love letter to handywomen and midwives through the ages. At a time when childbirth has become so institutionalised, this beautiful book reminds us of the instinctive care, skill, empathy and wisdom that women have at their fingertips. All generations will love this book. I adored it
