Shadows of the Workhouse by Jennifer Worth

4.0

I love this series both in print and on film. I remember some of the episodes that mentioned the workhouses, but this book enlightened me to no end. The stories about Jane, Peggy and Frank, and Mr. Collett particularity touched me. I found myself laughing, crying and seething with Jenny. My reservations with the first book in this series were resolved, the transitions between chapters were much better. However, I did find passages that I felt like I had read in the last book verbatim. I guess they are necessary to job the memory, but I did not need the repetition. It saddens me that there is only one more book in this series, but at least I have the series to look forward to and the other remaining books my Ms. Worth. I've never enjoyed biography so much.
