A moving, intimate, funny and, above all, true-to-Iife look at the colorfuI stories of midwifery and families in East London in the Fifties, based on the best-selling memoirs of the late Jennifer Worth. When Jenny Lee first arrives in Poplar, she knows nothing about hardship, poverty or indeed, Iife itself. Attached to an order of nursing nuns at Nonnatus House, Jenny is part of a team of midwives who visit expectant mothers, providing the poorest women with the best possibIe care. Here, the streets teem with children and with just one eight-bed maternity ward to serve the whole district; most deIiveries take place at home. FoIIowing Jenny as she travels through the streets to meet her patients - like Conchita, who is on her 25th pregnancy and Mary, a prostitute and pregnant at just 15 - CalI the Midwife offers a fascinating insight into a community on the brink of huge social change. |
