The Midwife: A Memoir of Birth, Joy, and Hard Times

Jennifer Worth
4.19/5 (28727 ratings)
At the age of twenty-two, Jennifer Worth leaves her comfortable home to move into a convent and become a midwife in post war London's East End slums. The colorful characters she meets while delivering babies all over London--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 and dockers of the city's seedier side--illuminate a fascinating time in history.

Beautifully written and utterly moving, The Midwife will touch the hearts of anyone who is, and everyone who has, a mother.
