About this listen
Violet Dimond, the Holy Terror, has delivered many of the town children in her capacity as handywoman. But Violet’s calling is dying out with medicine’s advances.
Grace, Violet’s adopted daughter, is a symbol of change herself. In the place where she has grown up and everyone knows her, she is accepted, though most of the locals never before saw a girl with skin that colour. For Violet and Grace the coming war will bring more upheaval: can they endure it, or will they be swept aside by history’s tide?
©2013 Patricia Ferguson (P)2013 Oakhill PublishingWhat the critics say
"One of the most brilliant novelists around" (Independent)
"The Midwife's Daughter is warm and wise, heart- breakingly sad and yet somehow uplifting too. I've been a big fan of Patricia Ferguson for many years - and I think this is her finest novel yet" (Jacqueline Wilson)
"She is precisely the kind of writer whose novels you'd expect to find advertised on tube billboards and selling in the hundred thousands - plotty, emollient, fluent, concerned with relationships and what fosters or thwarts them, and capable of making you root for the characters" (Guardian)
