Set in 1831 in England is a wonderful look into that time period. The city is quarantined by cholera and a 15-yr old survives by being a potter's assistant by day and a dress lodger at night for necessity to feed her baby boy. "Holman breathes life into the teeming streets of a distant world." New York Times Book Review
