A salute the women of the 1950s East End.

"Funny, disturbing and incredibly moving" YORKSHIRE EVENING POST
"Worth's portrait is subtle, skilfully describing a sense of community that no longer exists" FT MAGAZINE "An amazing if at times gut-wrenching read... a detailed trip into history which may raise a few tears and many eyebrows" WARWICKSHIRE TELEGRAPH
"Misery memoir meets EastEnders with a bang!" GOOD BOOK GUIDE

Reviews from Amazon:
 
I purchased this book after watching the first two episodes in the BBC adaptation of Call the Midwife and I have to say that I found the book even better than the TV series. The author writes with a great depth of knowledge and warmth about a world of poverty and deprivation into which she stepped in the 1950's. The descriptions of London's east end are descriptive and at times shocking to the modern reader. This is a fascinating memoir with some great characters. Loved it!
----------

This book gave me much pause for thought: the heroism of the nursing order of nuns that Jennifer Worth worked with; the courage of Jennifer Worth and her colleagues in delivering babies in the most appalling conditions; the survival instinct of the East End women - it was a complete eye-opener.
----------  
Although sometimes sad, a very good and enlightening read. A great book full of historic midwifery knowledge and very difficult to put down.
