Shadows of the Workhouse by Jennifer Worth

5.0

---

This book was a heartbreakingly fascinating follow up to Call the Midwife. The stories of Jane, Frank & Peggy, Sister Monica Joan and Joe were incredible examples of life in London's East End, horrors poor children had to face and the terrible exploitation of poor teenage boys by the British Army. I encourage everyone to read this book! It's left me even more curious and excited to continue reading the series.
