Call the Midwife: Farewell to the East End by Jennifer Worth
5.0
This book like the others in the series is amazing historical memoir. I think this is so true to life as a nurse and while culture differ as time goes on; the raw lives of people with which nurses deal are still the same. A doctor I work with said that if he were a nursing instructor that he would make it required reading for student nurses. After readying these books, I think I would at least make them a highly recommended reading for my students.
SPOILER
There was a chapter that was very explicit about back street abortions. I normally don't have a problem with such details but that was so sad and horrifying. I actually had a somatic response with my blood pressure dropping. It was something that needed to be added though. Those types of details are what nurses deal with on a regular basis.
This book was a great read and very interesting.
