{"product_id":"midwife-of-borneo","title":"Midwife Of Borneo","description":"Call the Midwife compellingly transposed from \nthe East End of London to the Borneo rainforest'\nLynne Tembey, Mothers' Union Worldwide President\n\n1959. Newcastle nurse Wendy Grey leaves her comfortable life and answers a call from people in Borneo to run a clinic in a place so remote, many there have never before seen a white woman. Until her arrival, medical witchcraft has been the norm. Nevertheless, Wendy quickly gains the trust of the locals, and they begin to flock to her for treatment. And - terrifyingly - when some require emergency surgery, she must also become anaesthetist and surgeon . . . or watch her patients die.\n\nFrom treacherous journeys on land and water to tea parties with the governor; from tussles with snakes and scorpions to Scrabble with nuns; from struggling with illness to suddenly falling in love - this unique glimpse into contrasting sides of a lost colonial world is possible thanks to Wendy's detailed diaries, written by the light of an oil lamp in her bamboo and palm-leaf house.\n\nMeanwhile, back home, churches throughout the UK are praying for the young woman in Borneo.\n\n'A heart-warming adventure . . . a spellbinding narrative . . . a step into another world.' Mark Beaumont, adventurer, author and broadcaster","brand":"Wendy Grey Rogerson \u0026 Bar Fox","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42084571775188,"sku":"9780281080304","price":6.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0611\/9351\/9316\/files\/EhI65T6uTKeSjWKpnI0X_9780281080304.jpg?v=1776227877","url":"https:\/\/etcevents.co.uk\/products\/midwife-of-borneo","provider":"ETCEvents","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
