Brilliant book by Jennifer Worth, a T...V series would be amazing, Call the midwife was so good and it touched on so many different topics and it did it so well. I would love to see the stories in Shadows of the workhouse brought to TV as well.

Bought because I had greatly ...enjoyed her other books. Found the content interesting but disappointingly different from the others, which had a much lighter and more humorous touch. This book gives a very realistic account of the lives affected by extreme poverty,and aroused pity and anger for the people concerned, but had a tendency to preach about social revision which is largely out of date now.
