Farewell to the East End by Jennifer Worth

4.0

I've loved all three of Jennifer Worth's books. They highlight the reason I became a nurse, even if I haven't been at the delivery of a baby since nursing school. They also show me a side of life wildly different from my own. She teaches me compassion and interest and fills me with a desire to care more about the people around me, including those whose way of living seems alien and intolerable to me.

She tells horrifying stories with compassion and without judgment. She loved the poor of the East End docks, and you can tell in her writing.
