When 22-year-old Jennifer Worth, from a comfortable middle-class upbringing, went to work as a midwife in the poorest section of postwar London, she not only delivered hundreds of babies and touched many lives, she also became the neighborhood's most vivid chronicler. Call the Midwife: Farewell to the East End is the last book in Worth's memoir trilogy, which the Times Literary Supplement described as "powerful stories with sweet charm and controlled outrage" in the face of dire circumstances.
Here, at last, is the full story of Chummy's delightful courtship and wedding. We also meet Megan'mave, identical twins who share a browbeaten husband, and return to Sister Monica Joan, who is in top eccentric form. As in Worth's first two books, Call the Midwife: A Memoir of Birth, Joy, and Hard Times and Call the Midwife: Shadows of the Workhouse, the vividly portrayed denizens of a postwar East End contend with the trials of extreme poverty-unsanitary conditions, hunger, and disease-and find surprising ways to thrive in their tightly knit community.
A rich portrait of a bygone era of comradeship and midwifery populated by unforgettable characters, Call the Midwife: Farewell to the East End will appeal to readers of Frank McCourt, Katherine Boo, and James Herriot, as well as to the fans of the acclaimed PBS show based on the trilogy.

London's East End as midwife Jennifer Lee knew it no longer exists, thanks to social engineering and urban renewal policies that condemned the tenements and relocated the families who had called the East End home for generations. The Sisters of St. Raymond Nonnatus, an Anglican convent dedicated to nursing and midwifery, found themselves no longer needed as the population they had served for so long went elsewhere - however unwillingly - and then "the pill" made it possible for women to control their fertility, at last. The birth rate dropped dramatically, and the sisters withdrew to their mother house and found new ways to serve. But during the last years of the East End, Nonnatus House was still there; and so were its young midwives, nurses who came there to be trained and who sometimes stayed to fulfill a religious vocation. While others, young women like Jenny Lee, moved on to other stages of their lives and careers - and some, like Chummy (familiar to readers of the trilogy's first two books, as well as to viewers of the PBS series), moved on to fulfill their religious callings elsewhere.
This third and final installment in Jennifer Lee Worth's memoirs is darker than the first two, as a way of life moves toward its close. It's also more factual, with a chapter telling a family's story (usually a tragic one) followed by a chapter-length essay about the medical/social problem involved. I found this less engaging and enjoyable than the author's storytelling in the first two books, but it is effective in its own way; and it does seem to be well researched. Toward the book's end, Chummy takes center stage with her delightful romance and fulfillment of a destiny quite different from what her aristocratic family intended.
