A sequel to Jennifer Whorf's bestseller Call the Midwife.
From the early 1950s to the mid-1970s, Jennifer Whorf worked as a midwife in London's poor East End. In a city scarred by the recent war - dilapidated houses, wastelands and blocked streets - she learned the stories of those who remembered even harsher times. Poverty and hunger forced people to seek shelter in workhouses, which were a real tragedy. East End Shadows are stories of unimaginable hardship, resilience and the strength of the human spirit, and a chronicle of life that seems incredible today. Jennifer Whorf's Call the Midwife trilogy became an undoubted bestseller and formed the basis for a BBC series of the same name. It attracted over ten million viewers and became the most successful drama series on BBC One since 2001.
