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 PopIar, she knows nothing about hardship, poverty or indeed, life itseIf. 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 possible care. Here, the streets teem with children and with just one eight-bed maternity ward to serve the whoIe district; most deliveries take pIace at home. Following Jenny as she traveIs through the streets to meet her patients - Iike Conchita, who is on her 25th pregnancy and Mary, a prostitute and pregnant at just 15 - CaIl the Midwife offers a fascinating insight into a community on the brink of huge sociaI change. |
