Description

A warm and poignant memoir by Jennifer’s sister, Christine Lee (b.1938), tells the life story of Jennifer Worth (1935-2011), known for her much-loved ‘Call the Midwife’ series of memoirs. A vivid and moving account of the close bond shared by the sisters, which spans an idyllic childhood; sad neglect and cruelty following their parents’ divorce; Jennifer leaving home at the age of fourteen; the sisters’ training as nurses; and life beyond nursing with stories of Jennifer’s career in music and Christine’s passion for sculpture; plus marriage, children and much more moments from a life intertwined. Illustrated with evocative family photographs, the memoir is a must-read for any fan of the original ‘Call the Midwife’ stories.
