A review by bookhoarding
Shadows of the Workhouse by Jennifer Worth

4.0

This book is structured differently than the others in the series because it is far more focused on one topic and fewer individuals. Worth makes the workhouse the main theme of this volume, using three tragic stories to really illustrate the long-lasting effects of the horrible conditions. I like her writing because she is a masterful storyteller and this book, though not happy, does a good job of highlighting a facet of history that I was not aware of before.
