CALL THE MIDWIFE - Jennifer Worth

~ Trade Paperback, Media Tie-In Cover

Call the Midwife: A Memoir of Birth, Joy, and Hard Times

Following the experiences of a young trainee midwife in the East End of London, England during the 1950's, Call the Midwife is a graphic portrayal of the quite appalling conditions that the East Enders endured.

An unforgettable story of motherhood, the bravery of a community, and the strength of some remarkable and inspiring women, Call the Midwife is a most extraordinary book and should be required reading of all students of midwifery, nursing, sociology and modern history.

"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
