The Midwife Trilogy (The Midwife Trilogy, #1-3)

Another book from my mother's house.
I read these before the birth of my son, in 2009, before the TV show based on these memoirs came to be. It's a fascinating look into the past, and really made me think that life as a working class woman in the 1950s was bloody hard work. Jennifer Worth writes with real love and affection for her profession and patients, and I alive the eclectic mix of women she meets throughout her journey. Some of the stories, especially those about the work houses, are difficult to read at times, but this is social history retold at its best. God bless the NHS.
The TV show is pretty good too.
