Compelling and thought provoking May 14, 2008
I read this book not really knowing what to expect. As a child of the 70s I had no personal knowledge of the 50s and throughout the book I was picturing the people dressed in Victorian clothing. I had to keep reminding myself that the conditions being described were from a much more recent period.
Call the Midwife May 14, 2008
A remarkable book. I laughed & cried. One of the best books I have ever read.
Good practice May 1, 2008
This was an inspiring read on a number of levels, as a historical narative it's a facinating look into how nurses and midwives practice in the 1950's but it is also a warm story of one womans' spiritual journey through her work. I loved every word of it.
a fab read April 30, 2008
I have been a midwife for 22 years and loved this book, the detail enthralled me I was amazed at how many practices we still use and some we deem revolutionary e.g the skin to skin Conchita used !!! It made me laugh out loud and cry openly. I didn't want it to end and raved on to all my colleagues about it. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I did.
Inspiring April 28, 2008
A really great read,loved the stories, as other reviewers have said,it made me laugh and cry. I did both in my 30 year midwifery career..i think it would make a terrific film,especially in the hands of someone like Mike Leigh..it's Vera Drake without the depression !!!.
