Call the Midwife: Shadows of the Workhouse by Jennifer Worth, Nicola Barber
3.0

I've read all three Call the Midwife books by Nurse Jenny now, and I'd say that I loved three and one and I liked this one.

Most of book two centers on an orphaned brother and sister who end up in the workhouse. It's a tale of misery and woe, but it's a story she learned of second hand, and it isn't quite the peer of the vivid tales Worth shares that she experienced herself.

Still, a solid book of powerful stories, and a series well worth reading.
