Summary

Midwife Izzy is devastated to learn that her beloved grandmother is dying. Abandoned as a baby by her own mother, her grandparents have been the only family Izzy has ever known and she wants to spend every last precious moment with them.

New locum vicar, Noah, is a wonderful support—kind, considerate and always there for Izzy whenever she needs a shoulder to cry on. But secretly Noah is battling his own doubts about his faith—how can he offer Izzy comfort if he doesn’t truly believe his own words?

When Izzy and Noah are brought together to support grieving parents, Noah reaches breaking point. He can't stay in Port Agnes and live a lie. But Izzy is adamant it’s the only place she can be….

Will love find a way or will Izzy's hopes of a future be dashed?

The narrator's voice was annoyingly childish

there were too many characters and story lines. The ending was very predictable. Otherwise quite an enjoyable, easy listen.

Get your tissues ready

Cried tears of joy and tears of sorrow. This one above all pulled on many heart strings. Felt like I've waited for ages for the latest installment and it did not disappoint.

Lovely follow on story

Loving the whole series of the Cornish midwives. Wasn’t looking forward to this one as Izzy hadn’t been a prominent character in the other stories but it was a great book though very sad in parts which had me shedding a few tears. Just wish the end had been a bit more uplifting.

*A Matter of Trust*


**3.5 Stars**

This instalment concentrates on Midwife Izzy, she is so close to her grandparents who virtually brought her up when her mother abandoned her as a baby. Throw into the mix her mother who continually puts up posts online as if she is the model daughter much to Izzy’s dismay. Izzy’s heart is breaking as her beloved grandmother who she calls Nonna is dying.

In the meantime locum vicar Noah is heading to Port Agnes, he has a crisis of faith and his overbearing father continually berates him and belittles him. Noah has many fans from his last parish they have set up a social media page calling it ‘the hot vicar’ lol. Something he finds unwelcome and embarrassing.

Izzy’s grandmother loves the church and Izzy has already made her mind up about Noah thinking the opposite but as he supports the family Izzy realises her assumptions were wrong.

Everyone can see that they are made for each other, then a scandal breaks involving Noah’s father, this brings the press into the equation. Noah then decides he must leave when they decide to hunt down Izzy. Noah is leaving to protect her. Izzy views it as him running away when the going gets tough

This story is gentle and emotional ♥️♥️♥️

Good Story

Another good Cornish Midwife story.I love all the characters . The only downside for me is the narrator's voice . She has a husky sort of voice - for want of a better description & it sounds as if she's whispering . But still worth a listen .
