The Italian Boy: A Tale of Murder and Body Snatching in 1830s London by Sarah Wise

4.0

a very interesting read. a ton of research must have gone into this. the text was, at times, confusing - there is a lot of contradictory information and some digressions into contemporary societal issues and history. it certainly seems like an absolutely filthy place and a brutal time to try to live if you're not financially comfortable.
