Description

Sarah Valentine, No Great Expectations Part 1 is a historical biography that tells the story of Philip Coates' great-great-grandmother, born in 1819 in London's East End. Living during a time of economic depression and turmoil, Sarah faced numerous challenges, including poverty and crime. Her life was marked by hardship and adversity, with experiences that mirrored those of Dickensian characters. After being taken in by a local figure, she turned to thievery and later found herself in the Shoreditch workhouse, where she encountered a group of young women who were prone to violence. This first part of a trilogy offers a unique insight into Sarah's daily struggles as a penniless young woman surviving in a harsh environment.
