MEDIA REVIEWS

From the moment I opened this beautifully-illustrated hardback, I was enchanted - from the poignant sepia photographs, to the author's engaging, conversational prose... I would highly recommend this book for anyone looking for a moving and heart-warming memoir - HISTORICAL NOVEL SOCIETY

brings the East End of the Fifties to life - CHOICE MAGAZINE

This is an illustrated version...studded with drawings and wonderful black-and-white photographs of the East End - where Jennifer practised - in the 1950s... very moving... Worth's publishers have included photographs from her own family albums...so that you get an even clearer sense of this lost world - those who lived it, and those who tried to make it more bearable - THE LADY

glorious... A real treat, particularly for fans of the TV show, and one to keep - FAMILY TREE MAGAZINE

Worth's books are full of fascinating social history: about living conditions in east London, the scale of poverty and violence, the realities of postwar medicine and the workhouse - NEW STATESMAN

“simply brilliant”

Brilliant could not put it down. I had watched the TV series and wondered if it may have spoiled it, but not at all. Have reccomended it to all my friends.
