I enjoyed this warm and relatable book.

In the present day, group of women, United by their desire to have a family, attend a support group and become firm friends. Each is struggling and they lean on each other and help in a way that feels very realistic and kind.

In our second timeline we have Catherine, unexpectedly pregnant and sent to a mother and baby home.

I enjoyed both timelines immensely and was always keen to keep reading to see what happened next! The women were so well written and I really enjoyed their friendships. It was sad as it progressed, but I expected it as I’ve read this authors previous works.

It’s a well written, well paced book with an interesting and engaging storyline. I very much enjoyed it! Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for my copy of this book.

What a wonderful book! This books deals with the topic of infertility, adoption and mother and baby homes in Ireland. Although these are difficult topics the book explores them in a sensitive and sympathetic way. A story with heart that I loved!

Thanks Netgalley and the Publisher. I enjoyed this book, had nice characters and a nice storyline. Not my normal type of read but this was okay.

Waiting For The Miracle is a fantastic book. I thoroughly enjoyed very page of it.
Anna writes sensitively on the plight of young mothers in Ireland who were subjected to horrendous abuse within religious institutions that should have been there to help them. Running alongside this was another unfolding story of a gathering of women who attended a group (Don't want to give any spoilers).
The 2 stories complimented each other in a way that left the reader looking for more.
A wonderful book with a fantastic storyline written from the heart.
Highly recommended.

Having read three previous books, Anna McPartlin is fast becoming one of my favourite authors. Engaging characters, wonderful storylines and very well written, This latest book, waiting for the miracle, did not disappoint, highly recommended.

Having read and enjoyed this author’s previous books, I was looking forward to this one and it certainly lived up to expectations.

Miracles come in all shapes and sizes. The story follows Caroline, Janet, Hannah and Ronnie, four women who are hoping for their own kind of miracle. And then there is Catherine’s story.

I loved this book. The author tackles the difficult subject matter of infertility with warmth and sensitivity. This was an excellent read which I recommend.

Having read two other books by McPartlin,I pretty much knew what to expect.

Warmth,humour,relatable characters,and the odd occasion where the eyes become all misty.

This was exactly what I expected,and I'm so glad.
Tackling an incredibly tricky subject,with many reasons why women might he struggling to conceive.

The dual timeline worked so well,and Catherine was the absolute star of the book highlighting Ireland past, in regards to unwed mothers.

This book definitely cements McPartlin onto my auto buy list.

I love Anna’s books and was so pleased to be given the chance to read her newest book! It was amazing, page turning and left me constantly wanting more.

Anna has obviously done her research and she handled this difficult subject with such warmth, empathy and love!

I truly enjoyed it and would recommend to all of my reading friends
