A fascinating slice of social history, this is a collection of Jennifer Worth's tales of being a midwife in 1950s London. They are stories about people struggling in the face of tremendous poverty and deprivation, and will appeal to the large audience for misery memoirs and tales of triumph over tragedy. Worth came from a sheltered upbringing, and when she began work in the Docklands she was shocked by the impoverished surroundings in which many women gave birth, but she also encountered amazing kindness and understanding. '"Call The Midwife" is a powerful evocation of a long-gone world.' "Literary Review"
