The Workhouse Girl

Circumstances force eight-year-old Sarah and her widowed mother to enter the notorious St Giles and St George’s Workhouse. When her mother dies in childbirth, the independent-minded Sarah falls foul of the workhouse master, Trigg and his cruel wife. Sarah’s ordeal seems to be over when a sugar mill owner takes her into his home.

Circumstantele o obliga pe Sarah, in varsta de opt ani, si pe mama ei vaduva sa intre in faimosul azil de batrani St Giles and St George. Cand mama ei moare la nastere, Sarah, o femeie cu o minte independenta, se confrunta cu seful azilului de batrani, Trigg, si cu cruda sa sotie.
