A fascinating slice of social history, London's east end in the 1950s, from the author of Call the Midwife
'Worth is a vivid writer with a talent for the sting in the tail.. a highly readable book - and a must for social planners.' EVENING STANDARD 'Jennifer Worth has a gift for storytelling and a keen eye for the evocative' BBC WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? 'These are powerful stories delivered with sweet charm and controlled outrage.' TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT 'Healthcare workers could learn a great deal from reading this book... compassionate, non-judgemental... tears rolled down my cheeks reading the final chapters.' NURSING STANDARD
Jennifer Worth was a nurse, midwife, ward sister and night sister from 1953 until 1973, working mainly in London. Her first passion was - and still is - music, and she is a Fellow of the London College of Music. She taught piano and singing for about twenty-five years and still sings in choirs all over England and Europe. She plays her piano (a 1904) Bluthner) daily, and is at present studying the entire keyboard works of J.S. Bach. She has been married for forty-five years and has two daughters and three grandchildren.
