A fascinating slice of East End life, from the No.1 bestsellilng
author of CALL THE MIDWIFE, soon to be a major BBC TV series. In
this follow up to CALL THE MIDWIFE, Jennifer Worth, a midwife
working in the docklands area of East London in the 1950s tells
more stories about the people she encountered. There's Jane, who
cleaned and generally helped out at Nonnatus House - she was taken
to the workhouse as a baby and was allegedly the illegitimate
daughter of an aristocrat. Peggy and Frank's parents both died
within 6 months of each other and the children were left destitute.
At the time, there was no other option for them but the workhouse.
The Reverend Thornton-Appleby-Thorton, a missionary in Africa,
visits the Nonnatus nuns and Sister Julienne acts as matchmaker.
And Sister Monica Joan, the eccentric ninety-year-old nun, is
accused of shoplifting some small items from the local market. She
is let off with a warning, but then Jennifer finds stolen jewels
from Hatton Garden in the nun's room. These stories give a
fascinating insight into the resilience and spirit that enabled
ordinary people to overcome their difficulties.
