À propos de cet audio
Audie Award Nominee, Solo Narration - Female, 2013
At the age of 22, Jennifer Worth left her comfortable home to move into a convent and become a midwife in postwar London’s East End slums. The colorful characters she met while delivering babies all over London - from the plucky, warm-hearted nuns with whom she lived to the woman with 24 children who couldn'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.

Hello to you, I am with news. I have a new book: I Haven’t Been Entirely Honest With You. I know – what an intriguing title! Basically, I have had an unexpectedly difficult decade – there have been surprising joys but also deep revelations and challenging lows. I shall be honest about those, because what I discovered in the difficult times were my, what I call, treasures.

Histoire
Tired of the pace and noise of life near London and longing for a better place to raise their young children, Mary J. MacLeod and her husband, George, encountered their dream while vacationing on a remote island in the Scottish Hebrides. Enthralled by its windswept beauty, they soon were the proud and startled owners of a near-derelict croft house - a farmer’s stone cottage - on “a small acre” of land. Mary assumed duties as the island’s district nurse.

A memoir that centers midwifery and so much more
Highly recommend for anyone who likes memoirs. I enjoyed listening to the incredible range of the accents & characters voices by the narrator. Such an interesting memoir that centered midwifery and the authors experiences of the profession including the people/patients on whom the memoir focuses.

Beautiful
Memoirs of a Midwife, working with families in the gritty, impoverished derelict tenement housing of post war London. This is the story of a nurse trained in helping to safely bring forth the babies of London’s baby boom’. It’s the true story of one woman’s journey to find faith and trust in God’s omnipotent power, in the circle of life of a harsh and seemingly impossible existence.
This is the beautiful recollections of Jennifer Wirth, a pretty and young Midwife, full of life and devotion to her calling during her stay in an East-end nunnery. Safely guided by the Anglican Sisters, she is taught humility and the Love of her fellow human beings while working in some of the most difficult situations brought on by England’s fight for liberty and the toll it took on her people. An excellent book. An excellent series on television. I love it and so will you. Ten stars!

Interesting stories
I did enjoy this book. At times I could not wait for it to end. It just depended on which story was being told. The narrator is definitely an acquired taste. Her spoken voice is clear. I found it too prim with a tendency to whisper on the important parts.
