Historia
In Jennifer Craig's enchanting memoir, we meet these warm-hearted yet naïve young girls as they get to grips with strict discipline, long hours and bodily fluids. But we also see the camaraderie that develops in evening study sessions, sneaked trips to the cinema and mischievous escapades with the young trainee doctors. The harsh conditions prove too much for some girls, but the opportunity to help her patients in their time of need is too much of a pull for Jenny.

Historia
Jill and Derick knew a normal life wasn’t possible for them. As a star on the popular TLC reality show 19 Kids and Counting, Jill grew up in front of viewers who were fascinated by her family’s way of life. She was the responsible, second daughter of Jim Bob and Michelle’s nineteen kids; always with a baby on her hip and happy to wear the modest ankle-length dresses with throat-high necklines.

‘A second’s silence and then an almighty scream. It was the most moving thing I had ever seen … A baby, a real live baby, another human life had entered the world. It didn’t seem possible and yet I had witnessed it with my very own eyes.’ Born into a happy working-class North London family in the mid-twentieth century, Katie is determined to ‘do something’ with her life. Working in the impoverished East End in the 1950s, she meets the Sisters of St John the Divine – a community of nuns dedicated to nursing and midwifery.

In the year 1912, 19-year-old Christy Huddleston leaves home to teach school in the Smoky Mountains – and comes to know and love the resilient people of the region, with their fierce pride, their dark superstitions, their terrible poverty, and their yearning for beauty and truth. But her faith will be severely challenged by trial and tragedy, by the needs and unique strengths of two remarkable young men, and by a heart torn between true love and unwavering devotion.

Why we think it’s a great listen: There’s no gentle way to put this – Frank McCourt’s performance of Angela’s Ashes is just better than the Pulitzer Prize-winning book. Frank McCourt shares his sometimes heartwarming, sometimes heartbreaking story of growing up poor, Irish, and Catholic in the Pulitzer Prize-winning memoir Angela's Ashes.

As Juliet and her new correspondent exchange letters, Juliet is drawn into the world of this man and his friends - and what a wonderfully eccentric world it is.

When Eliza Acton is told by her publisher to write a cookery book instead of the poetry she loves, she refuses - until her bankrupt father is forced to flee the country.

Kim chronicles her nine-year apprenticeship grappling with the nuances and idiosyncrasies of homebirth. She recounts the beauty and painstaking effort of those early years spent catching babies by the light of crackling woodstoves, oil lamps, and lanterns. Every birth enthralled her, whether it involved halting hemorrhages, sharing breath with tiny lungs, or bouncing through wild rides in ambulances.

It's just a small story really, about, among other things, a girl, some words, an accordionist, some fanatical Germans, a Jewish fist-fighter, and quite a lot of thievery. Set during World War II in Germany, Markus Zusak's groundbreaking new novel is the story of Liesel Meminger, a foster girl living outside of Munich. Liesel scratches out a meager existence for herself by stealing when she encounters something she can't resist: books.

Resumen del Editor
Audie Award Nominee, Solo Narration - Female, 2013
At the age of 22, Jennifer Worth left her comfortable home to move into a convent and become a midwife in postwar London’s East End slums. The colorful characters she met while delivering babies all over London - from the plucky, warm-hearted nuns with whom she lived to the woman with 24 children who couldn't speak English to the prostitutes and dockers of the city’s seedier side - illuminate a fascinating time in history. Beautifully written and utterly moving, Call the Midwife will touch the hearts of anyone who is, and everyone who has, a mother.

Well hello to you dear audiobook browser. Now I have your attention it would be rude if I didn't tell you a little about my literary feast. So, here is the thing: is it just me or does anyone else find that adulthood offers no refuge from the unexpected horrors, peculiar lack of physical coordination and sometimes unexplained nudity, that accompanied childhood and adolescence? I am proud to say I have a wealth of awkward experiences - from school days to life as an office temp - and here I offer my 18-year-old self (and I hope you, too, dear listener) some much needed caution and guidance on how to navigate life's rocky path.

Tired of the pace and noise of life near London and longing for a better place to raise their young children, Mary J. MacLeod and her husband, George, encountered their dream while vacationing on a remote island in the Scottish Hebrides. Enthralled by its windswept beauty, they soon were the proud and startled owners of a near-derelict croft house - a farmer’s stone cottage - on “a small acre” of land. Mary assumed duties as the island’s district nurse.

Mary MacLeod's mother died in childbirth when Mary was five, an event that marked for the child a "before time" - a lost joyful time - and after. She was shunted from one relative to another while her father coped with his grief. He married again only nine months later, perhaps to have a mother for his child, but her new mum, harsh and withholding of her love, quickly exerted complete control over her thoughts and deeds, with her father oblivious.

Historia
Mary MacLeod's mother died in childbirth when Mary was five, an event that marked for the child a "before time" - a lost joyful time - and after. She was shunted from one relative to another while her father coped with his grief. He married again only nine months later, perhaps to have a mother for his child, but her new mum, harsh and withholding of her love, quickly exerted complete control over her thoughts and deeds, with her father oblivious.

Historia
The shocking tale told in How I Helped O. J. Get Away with Murder is unlike anything you've read before. It isn't Mike Gilbert's "version" of what happened'; it's the unvarnished truth - the truth about O. J., the murders, and the infamous trial, not as Gilbert imagined or would like it to be, but how it actually was.

Historia
Each time she knelt to "catch" another wriggling baby - nearly 3,000 times during her remarkable career - California midwife Peggy Vincent paid homage to the moment when pain bows to joy and the world makes way for one more. With every birth, she encounters another woman-turned-goddess: Catherine rides out her labor in a car careening down a mountain road. Sofia spends hers trying to keep her hyper doctor-father from burning down the house. Susannah gives birth so quietly that neither husband nor midwife notice until there's a baby in the room.

Gold Dust Woman gives "the gold standard of rock biographers" (the Boston Globe) his ideal topic: Nicks' work and life are equally sexy and interesting, and Davis delves deeply into each, unearthing fresh details from new, intimate interviews and interpreting them to present a rich new portrait of the star. Just as Nicks (and Lindsay Buckingham) gave Fleetwood Mac the "shot of adrenaline" they needed to become real rock stars - according to Christine McVie - Gold Dust Woman is vibrant with stories and with a life lived large and hard.

Fantastic Book...
If you could sum up Call the Midwife in three words, what would they be?
The PBS series was fascinating, the book was better.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Call the Midwife?
To find out one of the boys became one of Lady Di's drivers. Not only ar there wonderful stories of birth, but so much history after WW 2.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
It made me smile, with so many stories it told.
Any additional comments?
Think this book is for all.

Outstanding performance by Nicola Barber
I loved the television production and even more loved the audio version of the book. The narrator faced a real challenge with so many different characters and she deserves six stars for her performance.

A memoir of Birth, Joy and hard Times
Would you consider the audio edition of Call the Midwife to be better than the print version?
Probably. Nicola Barber did a commendable job with this book. Some reviewers do have complaints regarding the low whispering tone she takes sometimes, and I found it a little annoying at first, but the short stories in the book were so compelling that I was able to look past the minor annoyance.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Conchita, jennifer (of course), and Chummy.
Which scene was your favorite?
The birth of a baby during Christmas dinner; a tortoise appearing from under the bed! I laughed out loud!
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
yes, the births of Conchita Warren's children. I hope to hear more from this family in subsequent books.
Any additional comments?
This book is a wonderful addition to any library. While it primarily addresses women's issues, it details the way life was lived in the 1950s, contrasted with life today... certain things just surprised me about the advances in medical science, and how sometimes human intuition can be as or more beneficial than the most scientific of medical care.
I am thrilled that the other two books in this trilogy are FINALLY available on Audible; I will be reading them shortly!

Enjoyed the book after watching the series
I enjoyed watching the TV series and the book was great, too. I think the narrator did a commendable job and I don't have an complaints about her.
The author paints a very vivid picture of childbirth and midwifery in mid 20th century England, and it seems we certainly have come a long way since then. Her experiences with the birthing mothers, their families, and particularly the nuns make for delightful stories.
I would recommend both the book and the series.

Fascinating, but heart-wrenching in parts
This was an amazing glimpse into nursing care in the 50s. I admired the author's unflinching honesty both of the situations she found herself in and her own character through the trials she experienced.
There were some spots that were so graphically horrid that I had to leave the book for a few days before returning. Again, it was just honestly, but how anyone lived through seeing some of what she saw and heard is beyond my comprehension. I've always had great respect for nurses, but these women were more than nurses, they were heroes and saviors to those they helped.

These reviews very interesting
Seems that if you were a child a this era you will appreciate it more. I was born at the end of this era and love the heating the inside story of the nuns and personalities. I love historical stories too. Now add being 2nd generation Irish I found it charming. Such a relief to hear good writing and great characters!

Outstanding narration of evocative history
The performance of the narrator makes this audio book. It sounds like you are sitting across from someone taking about their life more than reading a book... And the variety of accents of people of different backgrounds completes the picture of the time and place as voices I'd make up in my own head could never.
The book is not as emotionally affecting as the show on PBS, but it does a lot towards describing the post war conditions in England and the (halting) social transformation during that period-something that the PBS show soft-pedals a bit.
It does seem to romanticize at times and is likely not a reliable source for historic social analysis, but memoir is less about the truth of history and more an account of what a person who has lived through it take away from the experience.
Highly recommend.

Like the PBS series...
Like the PBS series of yester-year... the series spawned by this book... Worth's writings are lovely, thoughtful, and true-to-life, showing a great understanding of human nature and of the human condition. Though I don't share her particular brand of religion, I was touched by the honesty of her own personal convictions.
Love and Light... Jade Dragon

Better than I had imagined
At first the cockney brogue put me off, but it was a necessity for telling the story. I might add that the reader does an exceptional job of slipping in and out between characters. The stories, or incidents, that comprise the book are all very interesting and make good life lessons.

Loved this book - fascinating historical info
If you could sum up Call the Midwife in three words, what would they be?
Fascinating, humourous, informative.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Call the Midwife?
The story of the Spanish lady coming to the UK at around the age of 12 and the birth of her 24th child was very touching.
Which character – as performed by Nicola Barber – was your favorite?
Les, the husband of the Spanish lady. His character was so well described I felt like I knew him.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The story about Jean (?) and her 5 children in the workhouse was very sad. The suffering and poverty in those days makes us look like a pack of complainers.
Any additional comments?
Nicola Barber's voice is a rather 'squeaky' and I found it faded in and out a fair bit which was very irritating. Her pronunciation is not the best either. For example, she couldn't decide whether it was NON-atus or non-ATUS House.
