A heart-warming nurse's memoir by the author of Sunday Times bestselling books A Nurse in Time and A Nurse in Action - a must-read for fans of the BBC's nostalgic gem Call the Midwife
Brought up in Lincolnshire, Evelyn Prentis (real name Evelyn Taws) left home at eighteen to become a nurse. She later moved to London during the war, where she married and raised her family. Like so many other nurses, she went back to hospital and used any spare time she might have had bringing up her children and running her home. She later became Matron of the Lodge, a residential home for ladies of reduced circumstances. Born in 1915, she sadly died in 2001 at the age of eighty-five.
