<p>Leaving a middle-class childhood to become a midwife in London’s poor East End, Jennifer Worth not only delivered babies, she touched numerous lives and recounted with depth the heartrending story of a neighborhood in transition. <i>Call the Midwife: Farewell to the East End</i> is the last book in Worth’s memoir trilogy, which the <i>Times Literary Supplement</i> described as “powerful stories with sweet charm and controlled outrage” in the face of dire circumstances.<br><br>Here, at last, is the full story of Chummy’s delightful courtship and wedding. We also meet Megan’mave, identical twins who share a browbeaten husband, and return to Sister Monica Joan, who is in top eccentric form. As in Worth’s first two books, <i>Call the Midwife: A Memoir of Birth, Joy, and Hard Times</i> and <i>Call the Midwife: Shadows of the Workhouse</i>, the vividly portrayed denizens of a postwar East End contend with the trials of extreme poverty—unsanitary conditions, hunger, and disease—and find surprising ways to thrive in their tightly knit community.</p>
