A fascinating memoir in the 1950's, London. . .Ms. Worth brings this time period to life in a gentle yet honest manner. So cleverly organized . . .you learn about the area which she serves, the time period, meet various patients and get to know the nuns and their faith well. Even though there are some very sad stories, Ms. Worth includes humor to offset the awful reality of this time period. I had no idea how destitute the people of London were after World War II.
Ms. Worth is a gifted writer and story teller. This review does not do the book justice!
Warning: One chapter has some very graphic descriptions concerning a stripper in a brothel. It appalled me and then made me sooo sad because it was a true account and these poor women had endured this awful life of slavery.
