We met at Hudson’s Mill in Garnerville to discuss Call the Midwife: A Memoir of Birth, Joy and Hard Times by Jennifer Worth. As usual we enjoyed discussing a wonderful book, eating a delicious meal and most importantly spending quality time with good friends. If you weren't at the meeting, you were truly missed.
Worth’s memoir is an unforgettable story of motherhood, a struggling community and the hopes and dreams of an extraordinary young woman. It’s a powerful and captivating story based on true events and set in London’s East End.
“At the age of twenty-two, Jennifer Worth leaves her home to move into a convent and become a midwife in post war London’s East End slums. The colorful characters she meets while delivering babies all over London-from the plucky, warm-hearted nuns with whom she lives to the woman with twenty-four children who can’t speak English to the prostitutes and dockers of the city’s seedier side-illuminate a fascinating time in history. Beautifully written and utterly moving, Call the Midwife will touch the hearts of anyone who is, and everyone who has a mother.” (The Deliberate Reader: Publisher’s Description )
Looking forward to reading and discussing many more good books in 2020 with my favorite
reading buddies!
