In the Midst of Life | Jennifer Worth

1 post | 3 read | 4 to read

The last collection of true-life nursing stories from the No.1 bestselling author of the CALL THE MIDWIFE series, soon to be a major BBC TV series. Jennifer Worth's bestselling memoirs of her time as a midwife have inspired and moved readers of all ages. Now, in IN THE MIDST OF LIFE she documents her experiences as a nurse and ward sister, treating patients who were nearing the end of their lives. Interspersed with these stories from Jennifer's post-midwife career are the histories of her patients, from the family divided by a decision nobody could bear to make, to the mother who comes to her son's adopted country and joins his family without being able to speak a word of English. IN THE MIDST OF LIFE also gives moving insights not just into Jennifer's life and career, but also of a period of time which seems very different to today's, fast-paced world.

In the Midst of Life | Jennifer Worth

This book really made me stop and think about both my personal and society's greater attitudes toward death and dying. While this book doesn't have the anecdotal feel of her Call the Midwife memoirs, it still has the accessible writing and historical context, which is the important part. #nonfiction
