Letters To The Midwife-Jennifer Worth

Letters to the Midwife: Correspondence with Jennifer Worth, the Author of Call the Midwife is a moving companion to Jennifer Worth’s internationally bestselling Call the Midwife trilogy. Compiled after her death in 2011, the book gathers the many letters, emails, and messages Worth received from readers whose lives were touched by her memoirs.

From retired midwives and nurses recalling their days in the wards, to mothers sharing memories of childbirth in the early days of the NHS, and readers reflecting on poverty, community, and resilience in post-war Britain, these correspondences reveal the profound impact of Worth’s writing. Interwoven with Jennifer Worth’s own reflections and responses, the collection offers an intimate glimpse into her warmth, compassion, and enduring connection with her audience.

Both a tribute to Worth herself and a celebration of the lives she portrayed, Letters to the Midwife stands as a heartfelt reminder of how stories of ordinary people can inspire, comfort, and unite readers across generations.
