Shadows of the Workhouse
by Jennifer Worth
I had an interesting feeling while reading this after thoroughly enjoying Call the Midwife. This sequel felt at turns like it was so sad it was engineered to make you cry, and I admit it got me a couple times. But that feeling, saccharine retelling of old woes, pulled me out of the book many times. I have no doubt that Mrs. Worth very thoughtfully put these experiences together, however, this is an autobiography, not a novel. And at times it felt more like commentary on the life of the times through her eyes.
Thus my lower rating of Shadows of the Workhouse.
