Smile A good read...

Hi, just thought I'd mention a book I read a few months ago, 'Call the midwife' by Jennifer Worth is an excepional book to have a look at. An amazing account of midwifery in the East End of London in the 1950s. It made me laugh, cry and realise how awful conditions were there at the time, the conditions mums laboured/birthed in and the unfaltering support they recieved from their midwives. The story of Maragret really touched me and I was amazed at Conchitas story, along with her 25 children. No, it's not a typo, she actually had 25 children... Anyone else read it? It's wonderful. Sorry, I'm rambling now... She's tired!
