Product Information

The structure of the book is anecdotal, but even I who dislikes short stories, was in no way disappointed. The sisters of the convent become as members of a family, each with their own idiosyncrasies. Each child born is a wonder. And Jennifer, the author, is surprisingly honest about her own weaknesses and failings.

READERS GUIDE

Midwifery in the East End with some more youthful moments thrown in like friendships and a crazy night trip to Brighton!
