i just finished reading this book. i had originally seen one episode on PBS (back when i was watching tv) and loved it! obviously i had to check this book out of the library... there were several holds on it, but after a few months it was my turn to borrow it. i was quite excited and had high expectations after the one episode i saw, and i was not disappointed--this is an excellent book! it reads like a fiction novel, but it is a memoir/biography. it is a fascinating look at midwifery in the 1950's in the UK. one of my favorite stories is the one about len and conchita warren. i loved how he was such a devoted husband and stayed with his wife throughout labor which was unheard of in that time. a truly lovely story! highly recommended!
