    London's East End in the 1950s was a unique place: the struggles of post-war life - bombsites overcrowded tenements crime brothels - bred a culture of tight-knit family communities larger-than-life characters and a lively social scene. It was into this world that Jennifer Worth entered as a trainee midwife. But docklands' life was tough and babies were often born in slum conditions. In funny disturbing and heartbreaking stories Jennifer Worth recounts her time among nuns prostitutes abortionists bigamists gangsters and expectant mothers portraying East Enders' amazing resilience - and their warmth and humour in the face of hardship. Written with affection and nostalgia TALES FROM A MIDWIFE chronicles the lives traditions and tales of a bygone era.
