"Her uncle, a wealthy banker in York, raised orphan Victoria in privilege, but she has empathy for the poor living in the slums of the city. She wants to do more for them than just contribute money and attend meetings. When she meets Dr. Joseph Ashton, he introduces her to a family that needs her help. Her new role horrifies her family and after a confrontation, Victoria leaves her home to live with the poor family.
This was an enjoyable read about a segment of history rarely covered. Ms. Brear does a nice job in describing the customs of the time. I especially liked the descriptions of York. I'm familiar with the modern city and found I could picture the different places described in the book as they must have looked in Victorian times very well. Cousin Stella was a suitable villain though maybe a bit too much.
It's a pretty fast read and a nice addition to my Victorian historical fiction bookshelf."
