Great addition to series

I enjoyed this book very much. Storyline is a good look into the life of English society during the 1800's.

A gentile read about the less fortunate

A story about life in the workhouse and British society. I'm not sure I have met as many characters as this book portrays but society back then was built on knowing your place. The reader had quite a few characters to portray and did an amiable job of most of the accents. A gentle read compared to some of the books I've read but none the less worth a listen.
