Snow crunches underfoot, lights twinkle on the lakes, and in the little village of Thimblebury, midwife Zoe is hoping for more than one Christmas miracle…
Christmas has crept up on village midwife, Zoe Padbury. The little village of Thimblebury is having a baby boom and suddenly there’s only a week to go. She had visions of magic moments beneath the mistletoe with her new boyfriend, Alex, but with all the babies being born and her grumpy new boss at the surgery, their first Christmas together isn’t quite going to plan.
Still, Zoe feels happier and more in love than ever before, and when her old friend, Georgia, moves to the village, it feels like the icing on her Christmas cake. Georgia’s own baby is due at any minute, and Zoe is determined to give her the love and attention she gives all her expectant mums. But when she pays Georgia a home visit, she can’t shake the feeling that she is hiding something…
Zoe is determined to find out what’s wrong, even though Alex thinks she shouldn’t interfere. Zoe needs to put her old friend first, but Alex’s behaviour is reminding her that there is still so much she doesn’t know about him… As long-held secrets unravel, will Zoe and Alex be able to keep their own festive magic alive?

MY THOUGHTS:
If you want to read a feel good from beginning to end without even daring to put it down, then you are going to want to read, Tilly Tennant’s latest book, Christmas for the Village Midwife.
In this utterly heartwarming story Zoe Padbury is a busy midwife in the lovely village of Thimblebury. She works along with Ollie Oakcraft, whom we met in Tennant’s lovely Village Nurse series. As this is the second book in the Village Midwife series, so we have several familiar characters.
Now is the Christmas season and the weather is quickly going from bad to worse. Zoe’s relationship with her boyfriend Alex is going along nicely, and his daughter Billie’s pregnancy is progressing smoothly. However, when an old friend, Georgia, becomes one of Zoe’s patients, her challenging circumstances make Zoe worry. She wonders how involved she should get with Georgia beyond her role as midwife.
Meanwhile, Zoe find herself in increasingly drawn to the warmth and kindness of the people in Thimblebury. If you want to see how she first fell in love with the village, you might enjoy reading the first book, The Village Midwife. This second book had a delightful ending, one that first filled me with angst but left me with a smile.
Many thanks to Bookouture and to NetGalley for this ARC for review. This is my honest opinion.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
From a young age, Tilly Tennant was convinced that she was destined for the stage. Once she realised she wasn’t actually very good at anything that would put her on the stage, she started to write stories instead. There were lots of terrible ones, like The Pet Rescue Gang (aged eight), which definitely should not see the light of day ever again. Thankfully, her debut novel, Hopelessly Devoted to Holden Finn was not one of those, and since it hit the Amazon best seller lists she hasn’t looked back. Born in Dorset, she currently lives in Staffordshire with her husband, two daughters, three guitars, four ukuleles, two violins and a kazoo.
