The Girls with No Names by Serena Burdick is set in the context of a Magdalen laundry in Manhattan and the Romani community in the area at the time. The story itself is about two young women - Effie and Mable. Effie's story is about family, her illness, and a horrible misunderstanding. Mable's story is the stronger one as it relates to the history of this book. Learning about the history is by far my favorite part of the book and the reason I love historical fiction.
