«The Doorstep Girls» is the historical novel by Valerie Wood, published in 2003 by Corgi in paperback (544 pages, in English).
Ruby and Grace grow up in the poor neighbourhoods of Hull and work in a cotton factory from childhood. When the industry declines, they lose their jobs and their lives diverge: Grace joins the protests and Ruby is tempted by prostitution. Ruby's mother's addiction and family secrets mark both women's struggle to escape poverty.
A choice for those who enjoy family sagas and historical novels set in industrial England.
