With her trademark wit and warmth, Worth takes us on a journey through the lives of friends, colleagues and patients in Londons East End.

Farewell to the East End recounts Worths final years at Nonnatus House, offering a moving glimpse into a bygone era and a poignant conclusion to this beloved series.
