Klappentext zu „Letters to the Midwife “
When the CALL THE MIDWIFE books became bestsellers, Jennifer Worth was inundated with correspondence. People felt moved to write to her because the books had touched them, and because they wanted to share memories of the world her books described, the East End of London in the late 1940s and early 1950s.LETTERS TO THE MIDWIFE is a collection of the correspondence she received offering a fascinating glimpse into a long-lost world.
Along with readers' responses and personal histories, it is filled with heartwarming gems such as letters and drawings sent by one of the nuns featured in Call the Midwife and a curious list of the things Jennifer would need to become a missionary. There are stories from other midwives, lorry drivers, even a seamstress, all with tales to tell.
Containing previously unpublished material describing her time spent in Paris, and some journal entries, this is also a portrait of Jennifer herself, complete with a moving introduction by her family about the Jennifer Worth they knew and loved.
Autoren-Porträt von Jennifer Worth
Jennifer Worth begann in den 50er Jahren in London als Krankenschwester und dann als Hebamme zu arbeiten. Einen Fachartikel über Hebammen, der feststellte, dass Hebammen in der Literatur eigentlich nicht existent sind, verstand sie als Herausforderung und begann das erste Buch über Ihre Erlebnisse zu schreiben, das ein großer Erfolg wurde. Drei weitere Teile folgten und wurden zu Bestsellern. Der Stoff ist zudem inzwischen in einer gleichnamigen BBC-Serie verarbeitet, die ebenfalls große Erfolge in den UK feiert.
