Default Shadows of the Workhouse
For any of you that have read Jennifer worths 'Call the Midwife' you must read her follow on 'Shadows of the Workhouse' it is fantastic.
I brought it yesterday from Asda (£7.97) and finished it this afternoon. I could not put it down it was so compelling to read. I am not ashamed to say that I have shed a few tears reading it.
The last chapter in her first book told you about a little brother and sister that were seperated in the workhouse, and this book brings you up date on how they found each other many years later (my first tears fell then).
The way this book unfolds it secrets of the workhouse and the conditions that those that lived within those walls endured it is remarkable.
This book focuses on the history of the east end people and their pure spirited fight for survival. Have a big box of tissues when you get to read about Mr Joseph Collett.
Got to go blow my nose now........

I read 'Light in the Window' a few weeks ago. I was quite shocked! Those poor girls and their babies!
