Shadows of the Workhouse by Jennifer Worth
4.0
4 and a half
The stories in this second Jennifer Worth memoir are different from the first. They are short story length stories centered around specific things (the workhouse) or people (Sister Monica Joan, Mr Collett). I still enjoyed her writing immensely and I think that she definitely meets what seems to be her objective--to pay homage to those who survived life in less than ideal and trying times in London. She sure reminds me to be endlessly grateful for the blessed life I live!!
