Not an author or genre I seek out, but a friend loaned me this and I've read a previous one in the same "series" and it was enjoyable enough.
This tells the story of Annie, from her early teens to early 30s, with a few flashbacks to younger years, growing up in the laundry area of London in the early 20th century. Life is hard, abuse is common and there is no extra money.
No real surprises for me given I'd read a later book in the series already, but an interesting enough retelling of the author's family history and early 20th century life for the poor people of London
