About the Books. This collection gathers Jennifer Worth's full sequence of East End memoirs, beginning with Call The Midwife, which introduces readers to the docklands community she served as a young midwife in the 1950s — a world of bombsites, overcrowded tenements and remarkable resilience. Shadows Of The Workhouse looks further back, uncovering the hidden histories of the workhouse system and the elderly residents whose pasts still shaped the East End. Farewell To The East End continues the story with tales of tuberculosis wards, family scandal and unexpected kindness, as the old ways of the docklands begin to fade. Letter to the Midwife rounds off the collection with further reflections from Worth's midwifery career, tying together themes of service, memory and community. Together, the four books offer a candid, deeply human record of childbirth, poverty and post-war recovery, told by someone who lived it. Worth's writing balances unflinching honesty about hardship with genuine warmth and wit, giving voice to families whose stories were rarely recorded elsewhere..
