Jo Bartlett’s longest-running series began with The Cornish Midwife in 2019 and expanded to twelve entries by 2023. Set in Port Agnes, a fictional Cornish village, the books follow a team of midwives whose professional lives are as eventful as their personal ones. The series blends the everyday drama of a busy midwifery practice with romantic storylines that develop over multiple books, giving readers reasons to keep coming back.

A notable feature of this series is that many titles were released under alternate names for different markets. A Winter’s Wish For The Cornish Midwife (2021) also appeared as The Midwife’s Winter Wish, and similar dual-title releases continued throughout the series. This can be confusing for new readers, but the content is identical regardless of which version you pick up. The series covers every season, from A Spring Surprise For The Cornish Midwife (2022) to the Christmas-themed Mistletoe and Magic for the Cornish Midwife (2022), making it easy to match your reading to the time of year. Happy Ever After for the Cornish Midwife (2023) and A Change of Heart for the Cornish Midwife (2023) round out the collection.
