En este libro, Jennifer Worth cierra el círculo de sus memorias como matrona en el East End de Londres. Como siempre, hay historias desgarradoras, como la de una familia devastada por la tuberculosis y la de una mujer de barco que 'atendía' a toda la tripulación, así como mucho humor y calidez, como la historia de dos mujeres que compartían el mismo marido. Otras historias cubren abortos clandestinos, la vida cambiante de los Docklands, infanticidio, así como las vidas de los habitantes de Nonnatus House.

Jennifer Louise Worth RN RM was a British memoirist, nurse, and midwife. She worked in the poverty-stricken East End of London in the 1950s, where she gained much of her experience that would later shape her writing. Drawing on these experiences, she wrote a best-selling trilogy: Call the Midwife (2002), Shadows of the Workhouse (2005) and Farewell to The East End (2009). After leaving her career in nursing, Worth re-trained as a musician.
