Description
Farewell to the East End: The Last Days of the East End Midwives
When twenty-two-year-old Jennifer Worth, from a comfortable middle-class upbringing, went to work as a midwife in the poorest section of postwar London, she not only delivered hundreds of babies and touched many lives; she also became the neighborhood's most vivid chronicler. Call the Midwife: Farewell to the East End is the last book in Worth's memoir trilogy, which the Times Literary Supplement described as "powerful stories with sweet charm and controlled outrage" in the face of dire circumstances.
Call the Midwife: A True Story of the East End In The 1950s
Fans of Down ton Abbey and Mad Men 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.
Shadows of the Workhouse: The Drama of Life in Postwar London
When twenty-two-year-old Jennifer
Worth, from a comfortable middle-class upbringing, went to work as a midwife in
the direst section of postwar London, she not only delivered hundreds of babies
and touched many lives; she also became the neighborhood's most vivid
chronicler. Woven into the ongoing tales of her life in the East End are the
true stories of the people Worth met who grew up in the dreaded workhouse, a
Dickensian institution that limped on into the middle of the twentieth century.
