Shadows of the Workhouse by Jennifer Worth
4.0

Call the Midwife, book 2.

This follow-up is less focused on the author’s midwife training and covers fewer patients’ stories, albeit more deeply. Lots about the legacy of workhouses and the experiences of soldiers and their families during and after wartime. Pretty grim, but Sister Monica Joan provided some much needed comic relief.
