Shadows of the Workhouse by Jennifer Worth

4.0

This book was somewhat more uneven than the first in the series. I loved the longer, in depth stories, and the focus on the blight of the workhouses. I wish that everyone who argues with the idea of institutionalized poverty would read this. But there was a section in the middle where she tried to flip into the lighter, sarcastic narration that she wove throughout the first book, and it really didn't fit the overall tone of this volume.
