The Ghost of Lily Painter - Caitlin Davies

[Jane B]

 

The Ghost of Lily Painter kept me engrossed until the end which admittedly tied everything up in a very neat and convenient bundle but nevetheless didn't detract from an enjoyable read. Especially interesting were the chapters narrated by the inhabitants of 43 Stanley Road in the period 1901 - 1902 which gave us a glimpse of life in Edwardian London and the fate of unmarried and pregnant girls and the very limited choices they had and of the unscrupulous baby farmers that profited from their predicaments

I have this on my "to read" list. Sounds good!
