Shadows of the Workhouse by Jennifer Worth

4.0

---

I enjoyed this follow-up to Call the Midwife. This was a little less about her own experiences as a midwife and more about a few of her more interesting patients. The stories read a little more like fiction, and I am sure she took a few liberties, especially with The Workhouse Children, as there are things she described she couldn't possibly know. Apparently in addition to her ability to help people in the direst of circumstances (and sometimes very disgusting circumstances) she has a talent for writing, and can put you in the scene right there with her patients.
