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.
Jennifer Louise Worth RN RM was a British memoirist, nurse, and midwife. She worked in the poverty-stricken East End of London in the 1950s, where she gained much of her experience that would later shape her writing. Drawing on these experiences, she wrote a best-selling trilogy: Call the Midwife (2002), Shadows of the Workhouse (2005) and Farewell to The East End (2009). After leaving her career in nursing, Worth re-trained as a musician.
