Call the Midwife (book)
''Call the Midwife'', later called ''Call the Midwife: A True Story of the East End in the 1950s'', is a memoir by Jennifer Worth, and the first in a trilogy of books describing her work as a district nurse and midwife in the East End of London during the 1950s. Worth wrote the book after retiring from a subsequent career as a musician, and it was originally published in 2002. Reissued in 2007, it became a bestseller, as did the sequel ''Shadows of the Workhouse'' (2005, reissued 2008) and the final volume ''Farewell to the East End'' (2009). By the time of Jennifer Worth’s death in June 2011, her books had already sold almost a million copies. In 2012, the popular BBC adaption of the trilogy boosted sales further, and all four of the author's books about the East End (the "Midwife trilogy" and ''In the Midst of Life'' (2010) went back into the charts.
== Background ==
Worth wrote the book in response to an article by Terri Coates in the ''Royal College of Midwives Journal'', which argued that midwives had been under-represented in literature and called on "a midwife somewhere to do for midwifery what James Herriot did for vets". Worth wrote the first volume of her memoirs by hand and sent them to Coates to read, and Coates later served as advisor on the books and the TV adaption.
