All’s fair in love and war… but what happens when the war is over?

After the heartbreak of World War Two, newlywed midwife Cathy hoped Liverpool life would offer some joy. But a terrible miscarriage and the escape of her abusive stepfather Jack from prison make happiness hard to find.

Meanwhile, Cathy’s beloved granny is ailing. Whilst at the hospital, Cathy sees her midwifery friends, who are planning to open a home for unmarried mothers. After losing a baby of her own Cathy would love to help, but for now, she must take care of her grandmother.

As her granny’s health worsens, she writes Cathy a letter. The day her grandmother dies, Cathy goes home and opens the envelope: Thank you for giving me a reason to live. Everything I have in the world is yours now, my darling. Cathy is devastated but determined to honour her granny’s memory, hoping the maternity home can be her legacy.

Just as Cathy and her friends are about to open their doors to the first expectant mothers, Jack is spotted in Liverpool. It’s only a matter of time until her cruel stepfather catches up with her, determined to pay her back for getting him locked up in prison. Can Cathy keep herself and her grandmother’s legacy safe, and see Jack sent away for good at last?

The Midwives of Lark Lane is a heart-wrenching saga about how the best friendships can help you through the worst of times. If you’re a fan of Nadine Dorries, Diney Costeloe and Kitty Neale, you’ll love Pam Howes!

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Pam Howes was born in Cheshire. She is an ex Interior Designer who began writing seriously in the mid nineties. The idea for her first novel, set in the sixties, was inspired by her time as a teenager, working in a local record store and hanging around with musicians who frequented the business. That first novel evolved into a series set in the fictional town of Pickford, based on her home town of Stockport. Three Steps to Heaven; 'Til I Kissed You; Always On My Mind; Not Fade Away, and That'll Be The Day, follow the lives and loves through the decades of fictional Rock'n'Roll band The Raiders. Pam is a big fan of sixties music and it's this love that compelled her to write the series. A stand-alone true-life romance, Fast Movin' Train, set in the nineties, was published in early 2012. Pam is mum to three adult daughters, grandma to seven assorted grandchildren, and roadie to one musician partner.

Pam recently signed a second contract with the award winning publisher Bookouture and the first novel in her new Lark Lane series, The Factory Girls of Lark Lane, will be published in July 2018.

Her first series for Bookouture - The Mersey Trilogy - is available in E book, paperback and as audio books.

Very Good Series of Books

It probably seems strange that an 82 year old American man has been enjoying these books about nurses, lady pilots, etc. but it has been interesting reading about this period of time in England. I wonder why there aren’t many male authors this good? Thank you ladies.

An Amazing Family Saga

Reviewed in the United States on February 2, 2020

After World War II, in 1964, the story begins in Liverpool with Cathy living with her grandmother. She is a teenager carrying a child of her first love, after the baby is born and several years the two gets married. She has several friends that are nurses, their dream was to own a home where unwed mothers-to-be had a safe place to go and to have their babies well cared for after their birth. This all started as a dream, before it came together there were many tasks to solve. It seemed there wasn't an easy way to accomplish this dream. They needed a building, money, furniture, beds, kitchen appliances and a good Doctor to oversee everyone. I have only written a small part of the story, there is more, much more to the story.

This is the second book that I have read by this author, I enjoyed both of them. These books are well written, entertaining and kept me turning the pages. The characters were realistic that came alive. This novel had adventure, mysteries and down to earth family saga, that I enjoyed reading. I recommend this novel to everyone.

This one was just okay. Expected a better and more interesting end. It was just a bit bland. Really easy read though.

It's the Sixtes, The Beatles are the rage. Nursing is moving into new levels, yet evil still walks close by.

A moving story of a young woman who thought her dream of being a Midwife, with the birth of her child a d her marriage. A moving story, wish I had read the earlier books to keep the characters straight. Still a great story, explores the beginning of nurses working more independently, while providing a dark mystery. A great read.

A wish comes true

Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2019

I enjoyed reading The Midwives of Lark Lane. It appears this may be part of a series and I have not had the fortune to read the books which preceded it; however the author did a good job of filling in gaps on some of the characters.

The story follow Cathy, a midwife, Gianni her husband, and Lucy their daughter. The challenges of a newly married couple as they are separated at first while Gianni performs on the carnival circuit riding a motorbike and Cathy, a nurse, completes her midwifery education.
This brings in the colorful characters of Eloise and Maria. Eloise is the jealous ex girlfriend, and Maria Gianni's fortune telling stepmother.

Cathy works with her friends who are midwives at the hospital. They all dream of opening their own maternity hospital for unwed mothers and those that wish private accommodations for the birth of their child. With the help of the characters of Jimmy and Johnny this comes about.

In the midst of everything Cathy's grandmother passes away and Gianni is there to help her through her loss. It's only after Cathy's abusive stepfather escapes from prison and tries to harm Cathy that Gianni gives up the racing circuit and gets a job to stay home with Cathy and Lucy.

This book is filled with a lot of love, its share of drama and a bit of sadness. I would recommend the book.

Thanks to Pam Howes, Bookouture, and NetGalley for allowing me to read and review and advanced copy of the book.

This book will take you through a rollercoaster of different emotions from beginning to end.

I haven't read any of the other Lark Lane series but this book stood well on it's own.

Very enjoyable and reminded me of how much I loved working on the Delivery Suite at the RVI in Newcastle Upon Tyne, England.

This is the fourth in this series and like the others, I loved it. It starts in June 1960 in Aigburth. We meet up again with the characters we have met before. Cathy Lomax is marrying her fiancé Gianni Romano and they have a daughter, Lucy, now 18 months old. Alice is waiting for her divorce from Jack Dawson, who is in Walton Gaol. Alice will marry Johnny Harrison and have a double wedding along with Cathy. The story continues with Cathy and Gianni. Cathy has great plans for the future. An old enemy has a huge grudge against Cathy and plans to his get his revenge. The storyline is compelling to read and I thoroughly enjoyed this book.
