[Livre lu en anglais]
Suite de "Call the midwife", ce livre est plus un addendum du premier volume, décrivant les workhouses, quelques histoires particulières de personnages rencontrés par l'auteur. Heureusement une petite aventure de Soeur Monica Joan sauve l'affaire.

Despite the very gloom subject : workhouses, this book is still filled with what makes a midwife's work so special : life and miracles ! An enlightening insight inside the poorest neighborhood of London in the 60's.

It was a time just before the revolution of "The Pill", and women tended to have many children. A colleage of mine delivered an eighteenth baby to a woman and I delivered a twenty-fourth! Admittedly these were extreme cases, but ten babies was quite common.
