false 6114607 1 An unforgettable story of the joy of motherhood, the bravery of a community, and the hope of one extraordinary woman<BR><BR> At the age of twenty-two, Jennifer Worth leaves her comfortable 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, <I>The Midwife</I> will touch the hearts of anyone who is, and everyone who has, a mother. 6292672 2002 The Midwife: A Memoir of Birth, Joy, and Hard Times total:119|5:37|4:60|3:18|2:4|1:0| 119 487 219 53 4 1 false false Wed Apr 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Apr 01 15:22:35 -0700 2009 Wed Apr 01 15:22:45 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Mon Jun 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Aug 22 09:26:09 -0700 2009 Sat Aug 22 10:02:59 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 1 false false Mon Apr 20 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Apr 20 17:01:13 -0700 2009 Mon Apr 20 17:02:02 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false true Mon Jul 20 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Jul 18 17:08:51 -0700 2009 Mon Jul 20 08:51:12 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Fri May 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Apr 28 10:57:30 -0700 2009 Thu May 07 12:15:03 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sun May 17 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri May 01 18:37:37 -0700 2009 Wed May 20 22:02:55 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Mon Apr 20 11:06:11 -0700 2009 Mon Apr 20 11:06:17 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false true Wed Aug 12 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Aug 06 19:29:29 -0700 2009 Thu Aug 13 16:44:56 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Wed Jun 24 15:43:22 -0700 2009 Wed Jun 24 15:55:59 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Mon Oct 12 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Sep 14 15:50:37 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 13 13:00:20 -0700 2009 more...]]> 2 0 false false Thu Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Oct 04 17:56:13 -0700 2009 Sun Oct 04 18:01:07 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 2 false false Sun Jun 14 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Jun 22 22:02:59 -0700 2009 Mon Jun 22 22:02:59 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sun Jul 19 03:43:57 -0700 2009 Sun Jul 19 03:50:26 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sun Apr 12 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Apr 09 14:47:02 -0700 2009 Sun Apr 12 13:33:48 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Sat Nov 07 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sat Nov 07 06:59:13 -0800 2009 Sat Nov 07 07:06:04 -0800 2009 more...]]> 2 0 false false Mon Jun 08 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu May 14 15:53:36 -0700 2009 Mon Jun 08 14:34:32 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Thu Jul 30 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Aug 07 10:18:39 -0700 2009 Fri Aug 07 10:22:29 -0700 2009 Great insight into the history of midwifery and the extreme living conditions of 1950's East-end London poverty.
