'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.

Searingly honest . . . This brutally powerful memoir is full of incidents and suffering that will stay in your head . . . Although it's a stark read, Frontline Midwife is totally absorbing because Kent holds nothing back, including about her own tragic experiences of miscarriage and loss. The book offers a window into a world that few of us could honestly face' Independent
