<b>The highest-rated drama in BBC history, <i>Call the Midwife</i> will delight fans of <i>Downton Abbey</i></b><br /><br /> Viewers everywhere have fallen in love with this candid look at post-war London. In the 1950s, twenty-two-year-old Jenny Lee leaves her comfortable home to move into a convent and become a midwife in London's East End slums. While delivering babies all over the city, Jenny encounters a colorful cast of women—from the plucky, warm-hearted nuns with whom she lives, to the woman with twenty-four children who can't speak English, to the prostitutes of the city's seedier side.<br /><br />An unfortgettable story of motherhood, the bravery of a community, and the strength of remarkable and inspiring women, <i>Call the Midwife</i> is the true story behind the beloved PBS series, which will soon return for its sixth season.<br /><br /><br /><i>From the Trade Paperback edition.</i>
