“Farewell to East End” is the final part of the trilogy “Call the Midwife,” which became a bestseller and the basis of the eponymous TV series.
Jennifer Worth will tell new stories—tragic, amusing, and surprising—from the lives of East End residents and about how the fates of midwives unfolded: wise and noble Sister Julianne, experienced Sister Bernadette, grumbling Sister Evangeline, stubborn yet endlessly charming Monica Joan, gentle Cynthia, sharp-tongued Trixie, and clumsy, funny Chammy.
The “Call the Midwife” trilogy made Jennifer Worth the brightest chronicler of a bygone era. It doesn’t matter which part you start with: in each of the books you’ll find standalone stories about life in London in the 1950s. These are books about how, despite poverty and difficult trials, people kept their sense of humor, their zest for life, and their faith.
