If you enjoyed Janice Caruana’s piece, you can read her book which is entitled: The Midwife and Birth in the Maltese Community in the 20th Century. It depicts life in Maltese homes, where, a special room called, Alcova, was a space where a bride got to know her groom, fell pregnant and then gave birth and nursed her baby.

Please note - we incorrectly stated in the presenter script for this podcast that Mirabel teaches at the University of Sunderland. We should have said that she "taught" there.
