Synopsis of Shadows of the Workhouse
En este libro, Jennifer Worth, la autora superventas de 'Call the Midwife', nos presenta más historias sobre la vida en el East End de Londres en la posguerra. A través de relatos conmovedores, Worth nos sumerge en la dura realidad de los asilos y la resiliencia de las personas que los habitaban. Conoceremos a Jane, una joven marcada por la crueldad pero que encuentra el amor y la bondad. También a Peggy y Frank, dos hermanos separados en el asilo tras la muerte de sus padres, y la historia de la hermana Monica Joan, una monja acusada de robar joyas. 'Shadows of the Workhouse' es una fascinante mirada a la vida en el East End de Londres en la década de 1950, donde la pobreza y la adversidad eran el pan de cada día.
