Love reading about Victorian England anyway but love that there was no discussion of the actual murders and this book fully focused on the lives of these women

An intriguing insight in to the women who were determined to be victims of Jack the Ripper. Who were they? How did they come to be in the position they were in at the times of their deaths?
Today, there is a hue and cry to not give a perpetrator the notoriety they may be seeking and to instead focus our attention to the lives that have been lost. This book seeks to do exactly this for a situation where the perpetrator has become legendary and his victims mere shadows.
A well researched, well written account of five women's lives, The Five also provides a sobering insight to how the social mores of the day played a significant role in the outcomes for these women.
