Call the Midwife is the late JenniferWorth’s number one bestselling true story of the East End in the 1950s and is now into a fourth BBC1 period drama series. The brothels of Cable Street, the Kray brothers and gang warfare, the meths drinkers in the bombsites – this is the world JenniferWorth entered when she became a midwife at the age of twenty-two. Her daughter Suzanna Hart and her husband Philip Worth discuss Jennifer’s story and read from and engage in a discussion on Letters to the Midwife a wonderful collection of correspondence received by JenniferWorth.
With a forward by Miranda Hart ‘Chummy’, it contains previously unpublished material.
‘by turns touching and irreverent … [a] portrayal of a fast-vanishing world.’ Mail on Sunday
