A Poignant and memorable read.

Overall
5 out of 5 stars

Call the Midwife brings to life the squalid conditions and hardships many of the world's poor endure. Yet the joy and expectant anticipation of a new life transcends the dreary and impoverished environment. Each chapter tells a new tale while all the while weaving throughout the main characters, their love of their mission and their exceptional dedication to helping others. A fascinating look into life, death, joy and pain in the mid twentieth century in East End London.

Harold
