Based on the memoirs of Jennifer Worth; the story follows twenty-two year old Jenny, who in 1957 leaves her comfortable home to become a midwife in London's East End slums. She expects to find a hospital, and is surprised to find that the clinic is a convent: Nonnatus House. Working alongside her fellow nurses and the medically-trained nuns, Jenny has her eyes opened to the harsh living conditions. But she also discovers the warm hearts and the bravery of the mothers; each one a heroine in Jenny's eyes.
A good friend of mine, recently told me about
this BBC television series which airs on PBS.
We have rented season one and are thoroughly enjoying it.
Each episode will draw you in, engage you and touch your heart.
HAPPY WATCHING!
