Farewell to the East End

Farewell to the East End by Jennifer Worth. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780297844655.

When 22-year-old Jennifer Worth, from a comfortable middle-class upbringing, went to work as a midwife in the poorest section of postwar London, she not only delivered hundreds of babies and touched many lives, she also became the neighborhoods most vivid chronicler. Call the Farewell to the East End is the last book in Worths memoir trilogy, which the Times Literary Supplement described as "powerful stories with sweet charm and controlled outrage" in the face of dire circumstances.
