"Jennifer Worth's memories of her years as a midwife were at once hilarious and tremendously moving." -Ayelet Waldman, author of Love and Other Impossible Pursuits "Worth is indeed a natural storyteller. . . . Her detailed account of being a midwife in London's East End is gripping, moving, and convincing from beginning to end." - Literary Review "I loved the people, the nuns, the tough dockers, the prostitutes and pimps, seen with the fresh eyes of youth." - The Guardian   "Readers will fall in love with Call the Midwife . . . an affirmation of life during the best and worst of times." -Elizabeth Brundage, author of The Doctor's Wife

Synopsis
The highest-rated drama in BBC history, Call the Midwife will delight fans of Downton Abbey Viewers everywhere have fallen in love with this candid look at post-war London. In the 1950s, twenty-two-year-old Jenny Lee leaves her comfortable home to move into a convent and become a midwife in London's East End slums. While delivering babies all over the city, Jenny encounters a colorful cast of women--from the plucky, warm-hearted nuns with whom she lives, to the woman with twenty-four children who can't speak English, to the prostitutes of the city's seedier side. An unfortgettable story of motherhood, the bravery of a community, and the strength of remarkable and inspiring women, Call the Midwife is the true story behind the beloved PBS series, which will soon return for its sixth season.

    CTM makes you thankful to have them around

    I watched the tv program on PBS and although it is good, the book is more detailed. It is an easy read. I read it in two days. The story of Jenny Worth's life delivering babies is intriguing. Could not get enough and am ordering the other two.

  • Good Read

    Jenny Worth is a great writer. The book portrayed the hardships that postwar Britain experienced and of course the midwives.

    Life in East End London 1950’s comes alive. Compassion from the nuns and midwifes is overwhelming. I couldn’t put it down.

    Due to the fact that the woman who wrote this book lived the life she wrote about makes it more interesting.
