Summary

London's East End in the 1950s was a unique place. The struggles of post-war life bred a culture of tight-knit family communities, larger-than-life characters, and a lively social scene. It was into this world that Jennifer Worth entered as a trainee midwife. In funny and heartbreaking stories, she tells of her time in the East End.
