This book is very interesting, and gives a very different insight into the life of the poor in London in the Victoria era. There are some quite tragic interviews there with women that were forced into prostitution, simply to make ends meet.

Big parts of it make for pretty dull reading though, and are just statistics about the spread of venereal diseases in the mid 19th century.

The ePub version, has quite a few errors, where the optical character recognition software has failed to decipher some words correctly.
