Reply to comment by nobody_you_know in Completely hooked by the writing style and research into "the Five" by Hallie Rubenhold. "There are two version of the events of 1887. One is very well known, the other is not." The five are the victims of Jack the Ripper and had always been labelled prostitutes, but they were not. by LJRGUserName

Well said and certainly why I think the book such a great read. Those victims did suffer through their poverty, homelessness, food insecurity, and being dipsomaniacs.
