Stacey Halls book " The House Hold"
This is a fictional story which is based on facts that happened in this era of time.
It also brings in the famous author called Charles Dickens and according to the historical note at the back of the book also Burdett-Coutts, the heiress of Coutts bank.
She was the one who footed the bill of Urania Cottage which open its doors in 1847 as a halfway house which was created a refuge and a social experiment for people who were poor, convicted criminals or destitute.
I personally wish I had read the hysterical notes first as it would have been a great help in understanding just what was going on in these very difficult times.
This is not a book that will give you a chuckle or lift your spirits, but it is well written with plenty of detail and an education in. times past.
The book itself is beautifully presented the cover a joy to handle it makes you want to pick it up.
I found the best way to read this is as a historical fictional story of times past.
The reader will certainly realised that it was certainly not an easy time for women in this age.
