About a year ago I had the opportunity to watch a British TV
Show called “Call the Midwife”. I found
it quite fascinating in seeing how the show portrayed midwifery in
England. There was humour and drama and
of course a just a hint at a love angle.
I just finished reading the book “Call the Midwife A Memoir of Birth, Joy and Hard Times” by
Jennifer Worth. The book is based on
Jennifer’s memories as a midwife in post war London’s East End. It was an easy read and a real page
turner. I could not wait to see what
would happen next. (It reminded me of
the fabulous James Herriot books – describing the actual job, the co-workers, the
local scenery and more importantly the local characters.)
