It's 1957, and in a shattered post-war world, life goes on. Dot, a pupil midwife, negotiates the streets on her trusty old bicycle - come rain or shine - to help women in need. Living and working under the supervision of the strict Mrs O'Reilly, she must complete her training with twelve deliveries: there's Mrs Wardle who lives in a seedy slum; the eighth Clarke baby, born in an unusual place; the superstitious Wests, desperate for a boy; baby Murphy who is received with laughter; and brothel-worker Mrs Maloney. Amid lectures, textbooks and university dances, Dot must saddle up at any time of the day and night to attend deliveries. But just when she thinks she's got the measure of the job, fate deals her an unexpected hand...

I have read a lot of 'midwife memoir' books and especially like this one as it captures wonderful birth stories, but also provides a great deal of fact about midwifery procedures at the time. Made me smile, very enjoyable

 Excellent!

Have you ever had that feeling where you miss reading a book that you just can't put down? Well, this book is just that. I'm by no means the fastest reader but I have almost finished this book in just 3 days and wishing it could go on just that little bit longer.

Dot is a student midwife in the mids of conpleting her exams, only problem being she can't sit them until she has delivered 12 babies in a short space of time, and in what would now be classed as conditions of poverty from post war Britain. Ms Dunn doesn't just talk of delivering the required amount of babies, but interjects with humour and emotion that could only be brought about by someone who was passionate about their work

This book will sit on my bookshelf for future reads.......thats after i've allowed everyone too have a read first!
