Description
Mother, wife, midwife and animal lover extraordinaire, Maggie Edwards is back! In Jan Menell’s second novel, Maggie finds herself well and truly at the heart of village life, with all the ups and downs that involves. Following the death of an elderly villager, Maggie develops an abiding relationship with the village elders, learning and imparting knowledge in equal measure. She also finds a special synergy growing between herself and the mothers she cares for in her role as a midwife.
A preoccupation with her job, the elders and the assortment of animals she acquires help to ease the sadness Maggie faces over her own miscarriages and her desire for another child. And the arrival of her mother in the village proves even more distracting…
With vandalised allotments, village fetes, blossoming romances and enduring friendships, After Charlie is a charming tale of a very English village, a cast of engaging characters and one woman’s ever-increasing menagerie.

Maggie is a midwife and after a few miscarriages she decides to just accept that she would only have 1 child. She keeps on taking loads of abandoned animals. She just keeps thinking about the loss of Charlie had on her life and life of the villagers

New reviewer here! I really enjoyed this book. It is lovely and heartwarming and full of quirky characters that keep you following their story. The book has an old fashioned feel with a fun loving main character full of heart. Looking forward to the next book from Jan Menell!

I loved this book but was really sad to see it was the second in the series as i hate reading books out of synch. Reminded me a bit like Darling buds of May. I will need to get the first book now and probably skim read this one again

If you like a story set in a small English village, you're sure to love this book by Jan Menell. I had not read the previous book, but had no trouble catching up. The book has some very interesting characters, not all of them are human! Lots of humour, and also a lot of information about the practice of midwifery.
