If you like the show, I really recommend reading the books it is based on. I just finished the first book - there are 3 - called "The Midwife." The author is Jennifer Worth. It is really well written and provides more historical background.
I have seen all of Season 1 and half of Season 2 and recognized almost everything in the show. (It goes up to Conchita's premature baby).
It is rare that I read something after seeing the show/movie - it's usually the other way around - but in this case I like being able to picture the characters - Chummy in particular!
Thanks so much. Now, I'm looking forward to getting them.
I love the show, stumbled upon it and I'm so glad. I especially like how PROUD they are for their National Public Health program. Not just the nurses, but EVERYONE. That offering public health is a GOOD thing, a proud thing for a country. I wish we had more of that.
