Call the Midwife is Jennifer Wharf's memoir of her life and work in 1950s London. A young girl, Jenny Lee, surprising herself, takes a job as a midwife at St. Raymond Nonnatus Community in the East End. Dirty streets with traces of the recent war, noisy docks, overcrowded tenements, crime and extreme poverty - in the middle of the XX century this area could not be called prosperous. The community's nurses and nuns were then the only ones who tirelessly cared for women from poor working families. Working as a midwife, the author observed the difficult lives of these people day by day, witnessed their tragedies and joys, and became convinced of the incredible strength of their characters. At the end of her life, Jennifer Wharf wrote a striking book about that time, about nuns and ordinary East Enders, the first account in literature of the selfless work of midwives. Unsurprisingly, Call the Midwife has become an unquestionable bestseller, with over a million copies sold so far in the UK alone. In 2012, the book was adapted by the BBC. Call the Midwife attracted over ten million viewers and became the most successful drama series on BBC One since 2001.
