Book Review - The Wisdom of Call the Midwife

The Wisdom of Call The Midwife: Words of inspiration from the Sisters and Midwives of Nonnatus House 

By Heidi Thomas 

My rating: 3 of 5 stars ⭐⭐⭐ 📺 

Synopsis: 

Call the Midwife is loved across the world for its moving and intimate insights into the colorful world of midwifery and family life in the East End of London in the 1950s and 60s. The residents of Poplar and of Nonnatus House have brought comfort and joy to millions of people through their words and shared experiences. In this book you will find a collection of the best, most heart-warming and inspiring narrations and life-affirming quotes, taken from the original scripts by Hedi Thomas. There are lessons on love, friendship, motherhood, faith, family, home and much more - and we will hear from, among others, the voices of glamorous but vulnerable Trixie, forthright Nurse Crane, the delightfully witty Sisters Evangelina and Monica Joan and of course the wise and iconic narrations of Jennifer. The perfect book to see you through both hard and better times, this lovely collection will inspire and entertain in equal measure. 

Nice. 

I love Call the Midwife, it’s such a wonderful show and this book of quotes from the nine series thus far is pretty neat. I normally wouldn’t buy something like this, but I couldn’t pass up that Kindle sale. Reading all the quotes reminded me of how much of this show rings true, and how well written it can be. I totally wanted to watch the show right after reading this. The layout is solid, it’s got cute little illustrations and photos from the series. Nice gift for the die hard fan.
