If you like the series Call the Midwife currently on BBC and PBS, you'll likely enjoy the books. The memoir trilogy is the inspiration behind the series, and if you've ever read a book and watched the movie or series, you know that there's often a lot more depth in the book itself.

The author, Jennifer Worth, trained as a nurse at the Royal Berk-shire Hospital in Reading, and was later ward sister at the Elizabeth Garrett Anderson Hospital in London, then the Marie Curie Hospital, also in London. She writes these books as a young nurse with a comfortable middle-class childhood whose eyes are opened by the different side of society she sees as a midwife in a poor area of postwar London. It was an eye-opener for me as I read it too - interesting historical and societal perspective, which I liked, without being really dreary and hard to read.

I have a chance to give away a copy of Call the Midwife: Shadows of the Workhouse. To enter, leave a comment with what most intrigues or interests you about the series. Deadline is February 21st.
