«Letters to the Midwife» is Jennifer Worth's correspondence book, published by Phoenix in paperback (320 pages, in English).
After the success of «Call the Midwife», Jennifer Worth received many letters from readers wanting to share memories of London's East End. The book brings together that correspondence: stories from midwives and other readers, letters from one of the nuns, a curious list of what she would need to be a missionary, and unpublished material about her time in Paris.
The edition includes an introduction by Jennifer Worth's family and a foreword by Miranda Hart.
For readers of «Call the Midwife» and memoirs about everyday life in mid-20th-century London.
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.
