Call The Midwife - Jennifer Worth
With the Mumsnet
Book Club already thriving, we thought it about time we started reviewing grown up books and for this category we're looking for books published in the last year or so that are easy reads, something uplifting to take to a sunny beach, or to pick up in a quiet moment at home (should you be lucky enough to have one of those). At some point when we've reached a critical mass we'll be handing out a dazzling literary award to the winning book (watch out Mr Booker) so please add as many reviews as you like and feel free to comment on other folks' choices. As ever, if you have any suggestions for new categories you'd like to see, please send them over to contactus@mumsnet.com.

Fascinating read. It's a true story of a midwife's life in the east end of London in 1950 when people were poverty stricken, no hot water and pest infected houses, the midwife going about her rounds on a bicycle, never accosted. The time when childbearing was a women's thing and the father just looked on as he went to work.
