Unlike the first Call the Midwife book, this one had just 3 main storylines. They were not directly related to midwifery, either (other than that the writer experienced them during the time she was a midwife). It was slower-paced than the first book, too. There were still some fascinating insights into East London life in the 1950s. ( ) Didn't enjoy it as much as Call the Midwife; there weren't any anecdotes about midwifery in this one. It's clear, though, that Jennifer Worth had a gift for listening to and remembering the stories of the people in her life, and she did a fine job of retelling them. As you can guess by the title, the subject matter was on the depressing side. The stories were gripping, but I'm hoping she gets back to tales of being in a midwife in the next book. Second book in the series of books that the tv show "Call the Midwife" is based upon. Where in the first book each chapter told the story of a different delivery, this book focused more on the people in the east end of London. There were three parts, the first about Frank, his sister Peggy and their friend Jane, all who had spent their childhood in a workhouse. The second part was about Sister Monica Joan and her trial for theft. The last part was about Joe Collett, an elderly gentleman that Jenny befriends. The book was very enlightening when it came to describing the workhouses and the circumstances of their creation and life inside them. I have also learned a lot about the Cockney speech and even though I still can't say that I understand it, some of it, such as Cockney Rhyming Slang, is actually starting to make sense! Another instalment in the Midwife series. This time focused on the appalling conditions of the workhouses and the poor that lived there. I found this book to be much sadder given the stories of the people who have no choices in life. Profound real life account of how people lived in horrible conditions. ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu
Kuuluu näihin sarjoihinMidwife Trilogy (2) Sisältyy tähän:
Värikäs, BBC:n menestyssarjanakin tunnettu tarina kätilöiden arjesta 1950-luvun Lontoossa jatkuu. Vauvana pahamaineiseen köyhäintaloon joutunut Jane ponnistaa kurjuudesta parempaan elämään, orvon Peggyn pelastaa synkältä kohtalolta oma veli. Jennifer Worthin hauska ja liikuttava tositarina vie lukijan mennessään. Vaikka Lontoon laita-kaupungin ihmisten elämä on kovaa, huumori ja romantiikka kukkivat. Oma lukunsa ovat Nonnatus Housen nunnien ja sairaanhoitajien edesottamukset. 90-vuotias sisar Monica Joan jää tällä kertaa kiinni näpistelystä, eikä siinä vielä kaikki.
