This is a wonderful read about the life and times in the 1950s East End of London. Included in the stories of babies being delivered are the customs, home life, attitudes of life among the people and among the nun house where the midwives live. The writer also tells of the changes in her own life, how the nuns affected her with their devotion and belief in God, and her love of her profession and for the people. A compelling read. Would love to read more about her work.
