3 ways this book has expanded my world:
1. Hilma Af Klint & “The Five”-never knew about her
2. The Guuggenheim really did bring her art from Sweden for a first respective
3. The Sackler family as the Forrest family,a pharmaceutical company that addicted with its pain med & lies.A grassroots organization that protested its money/name at institutions. Loved this allusion.

While this book was different than what I expected, I really enjoyed it.
The author sheds light into the lives of London‘s Victorian era poor and pieces together the stories of Jack the Ripper‘s victims. Spoiler alert: they weren‘t all prostitutes.

An impeccable researched and well-written collection of the lives of the five victims of Jack The Ripper. The famous killer is barely mentioned, instead, finally, his victims step in the spotlight. The author follows the lives of every one of them, with explanations about laws, morals and historic events sprinkled in. I highly recommend it.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Now that exam phase is over, I finally have the concentration & energy to read 🌸. I bought The Five, The KISS Quotient and Little Fires Everywhere recently, and I also have a couple of paperback books 📚 on my TBR. Let‘s go!

I don‘t dislike this book despite having a few tiny issues with it. It‘s just that I‘ve been on the title page for the second victim for more than a month now. I‘m not sure what it is, but I am officially moving this book to the back burner. I‘m sure I‘ll return to it at some point, but that time is just not anytime in the near-ish future.

Because clearly, what else would a down and out woman do with her body. Her job is to take care of the men in her life and have sex with the one she‘s married to, no matter how many other women he‘s snagging. 🙄
