STUNNING. Incredible depth of research, powerful narrative voice, and long, LONG overdue.

A thought provoking and interesting telling of the personal history of the Five canonical victims of Jack the Ripper. Showcasing the difficult personal stories of the women and questioning the belief that all of them were prostitutes as only the final victim, Mary Kelly, identified as such, the others may have just been sleeping rough on the streets when he came across them. Very sad how precarious working class women's lives were then.
