Über diesen Titel

 Bloomsbury presents Frontline Midwife written and read by Anna Kent.

‘Brutally powerful . . . Totally absorbing’ Independent
‘A gripping, honest and moving account of healthcare work in a war zone’ Henry Marsh, author of Do No Harm

At twenty-six years old, Anna Kent helped a woman deliver her baby in a tropical storm by the light of a headtorch. At age thirty she would be responsible for the female health of 30,000 Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh. But returning to work for the NHS in the UK, she soon learned that even at home the right to a safe birth was impossible to take for granted.

Frontline Midwife is Kent’s compassionate testament to the critical work of healthcare professionals around the world.

‘An extraordinary, profoundly moving, all-consuming memoir’ Oliver Burkeman, author of Four Thousand Weeks
‘The heart-wrenching tale of one midwife’s quest to help others – and make peace with herself’ Leah Hazard, author of Hard Pushed©2022 Anna Kent and Julia Gregson (P)2022 Bloomsbury Publishing Plc Akademiker & Spezialisten Medizin

Beautifully written and read. Very moving and thought provoking. Treat yourself with care when reading if you are easily triggered by problematic births but don’t let that put you of an amazing read. I loved it!

Amazing insights

Oh where do I even start? Training as a midwife, I am always thrilled to hear about other midwife’s stories, but this one? It blew my mind! I loved everything about this book, the truthful accounts of medical and midwifery care in some of the poorest countries in the world, stories of strong women surviving, sometimes thriving in, impossible circumstances - Anna writes compassionately, fiercely, with no trace of pity in her words! The brutal honesty about her mental health and how her experiences influenced personal relationships is compelling and truly humbling. I loved it.

The most incredible, fascinating, terrifying and inspiring read
