All they have left is each other....
Life has always been tough for May and Gus Lavender. Their father went away to sea never to return, and then their mother falls victim to the typhus sweeping through Liverpool. Regarded as orphans by the authorities, May and Gus are sent to the Brownlow Hill Workhouse.

Excellent Read
This is completely different to any other book I have read but I couldn’t put it down. Amazing read and well written. Always love a book that teaches you another world at the same time.

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.

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.
