It was VERY repetitive, maybe it changed during the second half but I could not bring myself to read that far.

This book is very educational, however it does at times read like a long list of examples. Gaskell also offers very little sympathy to the women involved in this horrific historical event.

opalleaves's review
I literally read 120 pages of just complete repetition, it wasn’t remotely coherent and was just really hard to follow. This is an area of history I find fascinating and I’m no stranger to non-fiction but this was just so hard to read (and boring) I just couldn’t do it. Might try and pick it up again one day
