"Farewell to the East End" is the final installment of the “Call the Midwife” trilogy, which became a bestseller and the basis for the eponymous TV series.
Jennifer Worth will share new stories—tragic, amusing, and surprising—from the lives of East End residents and about how the destinies of the midwives unfolded: the wise and noble Sister Julienne, the experienced Sister Bernadette, the grumpy Sister Evangelina, the stubborn and endlessly charming Monica Joan, the gentle Cynthia, the sharp-tongued Trixie, the clumsy and funny Chummy.
The “Call the Midwife” trilogy made Jennifer Worth the brightest chronicler of a bygone era. No matter which part you start with, in each of the books you’ll find separate stories of London residents of the 1950s. These are books about how people, despite poverty and difficult trials, preserved a sense of humor, life resilience, and faith.
