Call the Midwife: The Official Cookbook | Fox Lane Books

Conchita and Len and their extremely premature baby (their 25th child) - this story about did me in. In a fourth volume of memoirs 'In the Midst of Life', published in 2010, Worth reflects on her later experiences caring for the terminally ill. From an early age, they worked in the home, helping their mothers who were dressmakers or laundresses. Coming together as a global midwife community the ICM wants to reflect on the progress made in the profession over the years and advocate for investment in quality midwifery care around the world that'll improve child, reproductive and maternal health. There are also further recollections penned by Jennifer herself, including an entertaining passage about the time she spent in Paris.The nuns at the convent, her experiences living there and working with them - the way she brings their personalities to life along w/ women like Mary and Conchita - it was so easy to be drawn in and captured by it all. But reading about Mary and Mrs Jenkins was so sad and upsetting, they had such terrible hardships and it was clear that they never got a happy ending in life… They deserved much more than what they got.

Jennifer Worth seems to be a lady of many depths and talents, and I'm sure her husband and family will be thrilled at how many people have been inspired by her writing, and the awareness she raised in profiling midwifery. Peggy and Frank's parents both died within six months of each other and the children were left destitute.Containing previously unpublished material describing her time spent in Paris and some journal entries, this is also a portrait of Jennifer herself, complete with a moving introduction by her family about the woman they knew and loved.

Conditions were deplorable with overcrowding, poverty and large families with women producing more children each year. I listened to this as an audio book, having made good on my intention to use the time spent in the car (of which there is far too much) more productively. It must have been a shock, but he had controlled himself, and sat thinking for a long time as he held the baby.

The TV series was also expanded beyond being true-to-book from the third series where the material available came to an end and the show continues to be scripted by Heidi Thomas. There has always been something about Cockneys, which is perfectly portrayed here: rough around the edges, fundamentally kind, and always up for a good laugh!
