Shadows Of The Workhouse
by Jennifer Worth
emotional
sad
medium-paced
I haven't watched Call The Midwife in years but I've owned this book since I did. Somehow I read the books out of order and into now I never got round to this one, which is the second in the series. They're only loosely connected though so it didn't really matter. This one isn't really about Worth's midwifery work and instead tells the stories of people she knew. There's certainly nothing outstanding about the writing but I find her books really interesting in terms of learning about parts of British history.
