Shadows of the Workhouse by Jennifer Worth

emotional informative reflective sad fast-paced

3.75

I enjoyed the book, Jennifer Worth is a terrific storyteller, but felt the title was misleading which disappointed me. It is essentially three stories in one book, only the first of which (which again, while fascinating) covers the topic of workhouses at length. I think if you've watched the TV show you'd love this, but if like myself you're more interested in the social history it touches on it may not be the best read.
