""The Sister of Charity V2: Or From Bermondsey to Belgravia"" is a novel written by Annie Emma Challice and first published in 1857. The book follows the story of a young woman named Alice, who becomes a Sister of Charity after being orphaned and left with no other options. Alice is sent to work in a hospital in Bermondsey, a poor area of London, where she witnesses the suffering and poverty of the people living there. Over time, Alice becomes increasingly involved in the lives of those around her and begins to question the social and economic inequalities that exist in Victorian England.As Alice gains more experience and knowledge, she is eventually transferred to a hospital in the wealthy neighborhood of Belgravia. Here, she is exposed to a very different way of life and encounters people who are indifferent to the suffering of others. Alice struggles to reconcile her beliefs with the reality of the world she lives in, and the book explores themes of social justice, compassion, and the struggle for personal integrity in the face of societal pressures.Overall, ""The Sister of Charity V2: Or From Bermondsey to Belgravia"" is a thought-provoking and emotionally engaging novel that offers a fascinating glimpse into the social and economic realities of Victorian England.In Two Volumes.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
