These are compelling memoirs of life in London's East End dockyards during the 1950's as told by a young nurse and midwife working for the NHS and living and working with a convent of nursing sisters. The books are rather grittier than the TV series, but both are excellent, and I'm looking forward to reading the original.
I read (not listened to) the first in the series before I watched the series. I thoroughly enjoyed it. What a difference between England and American experiences with pregnancy/child birth during that time period! Real eye opener.
