A True Story of the East End in the 1950s, Call the Midwife [Paperback] Jennifer Worth

The book that sparked the award-winning TV series details Jennifer Worths very real experiences as a young midwife based in a convent amid the chaos of post-war London Docklands. Her true-life stories show how tough conditions were in the East End, especially for women, who often lived in slum accommodation – grateful if they had a cold-water tap – with ten or more children to look after.
