About this listen
Written by Jennifer Worth, Farewell to the East Endis one of the trilogy of memoirs upon which the popular BBC series Call the Midwifeis based.
London's East End in the 1950s was a vibrant place-a close-knit community of families where children made playgrounds on bombsites and a lively social scene emerged. It was into this world that Jennifer Worth entered as a young midwife. Post-war life could be a struggle, but there was also warmth and humour. Farewell to the East End chronicles the lives, culture and stores of a bygone era.

Also an excellent listen
After listening to the earlier books, this one felt quite jarring at first with the different reader and her pronunciation of some words. However getting past that it was an equally enjoyable listen to the other two. Highly recommended.

Not as enjoyable
Not as enjoyable as the last two,
The narrator lacked passion.
Overall not a bad listen, But did not measure up to the other two before it. The story itself is sound enough but I feel the narrator isn't truly connected with the story,
In anyway.
Therefore letting it down,
And making it seem tiresome.

Terrible narration completely spoils the listening experience.
As compared to the sterling job done by Juliette Stevenson’s narration of the other two books in this series, the narration on this book leaves a lot to be desired. The narration is too fast, the narrator mispronounces words like “Nonartus” and “Pitocin” and just is a complete let-down in general. A “do-over” by Juliette Stevenson would be an absolute treat and would improve the listening experience for this title a thousandfold.
