review 1: Love this seris I have always been interested in WWII, London and nurses...all because my mom was an Army nurs during the war and her family is from England. This is the true stories of Jenny and the midwives (civilian and nuns) in the slums of London in the early years afer the war. These books have everything...thrilling, funny, sad, joyful, friendship and telling of true stories of that time. Beautifully written from the heart.
review 2: The events and people of this series are so fascinating that it's hard to believe they're real. Nuns who like matchmaking and fart jokes, a nurse who talks like a John Cleese parody of upperclass Brits, harrowing stories of violence and exploitation: they all make for a memoir that's incredibly riveting, despite the narr... moreation going a little flat in places (Worth is, after all, a clinician, not a writer). Fascinating for anyone interested in British social history, women's health, or just heart-wrenching stories. One caution: these books contain extremely graphic accounts of childbirth, abortion, violence, and sexual events (including rape). less
