Midwife memoirs from the UK
I've discovered a bundle of recent UK midwife memoirs. I was reading retired midwife Sheen Byrom's reflections on the Human Rights in Childbirth Conference and noticed she'd written a memoir called Catching Babies. From there, I found several other midwife memoirs, none of which I had heard of before. Any others I've missed?
I was just looking at ordering the three of Jennifer Worth's after watching the first season of "Call the Midwife" - I loved it!
