| Summary |
"Newly-qualified midwife Jenny Lee is the latest arrival at Nonnatus House, a convent in one of the poorest areas of London. Jenny is welcomed by the nuns and befriended by the other midwives - good-time girl Trixie, sensible Cynthia and fellow-newcomer, the posh, fish-out-of-water, Chummy. We are introduced to the local community through the eyes of the young nurse as she cycles out to tend her patients. Although the life that greets Jenny is a world away from what she's used to, she immerses herself in the births, deaths, intrigues and romances of a community she rapidly learns to love"--Container |
