Comment:

They are known as the victims of Jack the Ripper, but Hallie Rubenhold dives deep and her story is one not told before. We go on five journeys into the lives and times of five women - Polly, Annie, Elizabeth, Catherine and Mary-Jane - and hear about the bleakness of being a poor woman in Victorian times. Hallie's astonishing research has unearthed lots of information from their family backgrounds, and rich detail and observation about their lives. You get a strong sense of each women and her milieu, and Jack seems far less interesting then they are.

Good Pop, Bad Pop, BookAn Inventory

by Cocker, Jarvis, 1963-
Book, 2022. Language: English

Added Aug 01, 2022

Comment:

Examining your life by sorting through the crap and gold in your attic. It works for Jarvis as he's a bit of a hoarder and slow mover and jumbo sale aficionado. The book reveals stuff about his childhood, the early days of Pulp, and his creative process. A different kind of memoir, but compelling because of JC.
