After Hours Book Club: ‘Call the Midwife’ by Jennifer Worth

Thursday, December 21, 2023
7:30 pm - 8:30 pm

About the Book

At the age of 22, Jennifer Worth left her comfortable home to move into a convent and become a midwife in postwar London’s East End slums. The colorful characters she met while delivering babies all over London – from the plucky, warm-hearted nuns with whom she lived to the woman with 24 children who couldn’t speak English to the prostitutes and dockers of the city’s seedier side – illuminate a fascinating time in history.

About the author

Jennifer Worth was a British memoirist. She wrote a best-selling trilogy about her work as a nurse and midwife practicing in the poverty-stricken East End of London in the 1950s. She died on May 31, 2011.
