I'm not going to do that. What I am going to do is tell you that I am an avid reader. I am 69 years old and I read about 3 books a week. Sometimes more. I have now read all three of Jennifer Worth's books and I have found all of them to be outstanding! If you're like me, you will learn an incredible amount about Post-War life in the lower East side of London. I had no idea that such abject poverty existed there during my lifetime. When I was little, whenever the bills came in, my father would always moan, "Off to the poor house!" I had not a clue that there really were such things, nor could I have imagined the horrors that they held within. Worth writes eloquently about life before the Pill, the Polio vaccine, and indoor plumbing. All things that we take for granted.I can't imagine a novel being any more captivating than these memoirs. The characters all come alive--they literally seem to leap off the pages and you can almost smell the streets of the lower East side as the midwives furiously pedal to assist their next mother-to be. I think what amazed me the most was the quality of the writing. Often memoirs are ghost-written, or they are interesting but the writing is amateurish. In this case, the author is one of the midwives and I have to say that her writing is as good as any accomplished author. Her stories are mesmerizing, heart-wrenching, at times humorous, but always beautifully written. Jennifer Worth died recently and I am so sorry that I never had the chance to write to her and tell her how much I loved her books. ### ⭐ Pornographic portions *by B***T on Reviewed in the United States on May 14, 2018* I returned it. The first few chapters were fascinating and I loved them, then it turned pornographic with vivid details of prostitute sex. I could not stomach that, I stopped reading and returned it. Just be warned! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A midwife working in the Docklands *by K***0 on Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2016* All my friend were talking about a television series called Call the Midwife and praising it, so when the book the series was based on turned up for $2.99 I figured it was worth a try. I wasn't wrong. This well written memoir from one of the midwives of Nonnatus House is full of delightful stories about being a midwife in a area of the docks of east London.Her stories are full of fascinating characters among the nuns of Nonnatus House, her clients and families, and the other midwives. They work hard, sometimes nearly around the clock. Babies don't respect shift work and come when they're ready. If you are on call, you go. No wonder these women had the respect and protection they needed to go out alone along the dock at all hours of the day or night.Life was hard for the dock workers and pay was low. In spite of this, men and women stayed together and children were loved and cared for by large extended families. Material goods were few, but there was always nearly always enough love to go around. When there wasn't, a good home could be found for a newborn.These are gripping stories of a time gone by. The slums have been pulled down and the people scattered. The author left midwifery to pursue her dream of music. Fortunately for us, before she left, she preserved the memory of a life filled with joy and hard times. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/142452074-call-the-midwife-a-memoir-of-birth-joy-and-hard](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/142452074-call-the-midwife-a-memoir-of-birth-joy-and-hard) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-08-01*
