It's a shocking, alarming (and often funny) exploration of the lives of the working classes in Edwardian Britain. There are many topics addressed in the book that resonate today... the 'deserving poor' vs the 'undeserving poor' the self-serving nature of (some) politicians, the narrowness of available political options, short term employment and what we now call zero hour contracts, and the hypocrisy of the Church and other 'charitable' institutions.

Definitely a book a lot of peope have read since the movie came out recently. Discovered this after I was recommended not to watch the film. The story was gripping and really broadened my horizons on relationships, self worthy, and the importance of understanding yourself and allowing yourself to be open and honest with others.

A book that's well-written and realistic, with some fantastic talking points.
