Reviews
"[A] must for Ripperologists."-- Publishers Weekly *starred* review "[E]ssential to students of Ripperiana."-- Kirkus Review "At last, the Ripper's victims get a voice...An eloquent, stirring challenge to reject the prevailing Ripper myth." -- The Mail on Sunday "[A]n angry and important work of historical detection... The Five is not simply about the women who were murdered in Whitechapel in the autumn of 1888: it is for them. This is a powerful and a shaming book, but most shameful of all is that it took 130 years to write." -- The Guardian "Deeply researched and powerfully told, The Five unearths the truth behind the Victorian Age's most sensational crime: the 1888 murder spree of Jack the Ripper. Hallie Rubenhold reaches beyond 130 years' worth of lurid headlines and misleading reports to humanize the victims and explore their lives--and tragic, untimely deaths. The Five is a coruscating gem of a book, as necessary as it is compelling." -- Karen Abbott , New York Times bestselling author of Liar, Temptress, Soldier, Spy "Meticulously researched and beautifully executed, The Five is a powerful and timely retelling of a story you think you already know. Rubenhold strips away decades of myths and misconceptions so that the women who were ruthlessly murdered by Jack the Ripper are no longer one-dimensional characters in a Penny Dreadful, but real human beings with very real struggles, hopes, and fears. With this important book, Rubenhold proves she is a master of narrative nonfiction: a historian with a novelist's soul." -- Lindsey Fitzharris , author of The Butchering Art "Devastatingly good. The Five will leave you in tears, of pity and of rage." -- Lucy Worsley , BBC presenter, Chief Curator at Historic Royal Palaces, and author "What a brilliant and necessary book." -- Jo Baker , best-selling author Longbourn "A Ripper narrative that gives voice to the women he silenced; I've been waiting for this book for years. Beautifully written and with the grip of a thriller, it will open your eyes and break your heart." -- Erin Kelly , best-selling author of He Said/She Said, "[A] must for Ripperologists." -- Publishers Weekly, starred review "[E]ssential to students of Ripperiana." -- Kirkus Review "At last, the Ripper's victims get a voice . . .

Synopsis
Miscast in the media for nearly 130 years, the victims of Jack the Ripper finally get their full stories told in this eye-opening and chilling reminder that life for middle-class women in Victorian London could be full of social pitfalls and peril., Five devastating human stories and a dark and moving portrait of Victorian London--the untold lives of the women killed by Jack the Ripper Polly, Annie, Elisabeth, Catherine, and Mary Jane are famous for the same thing, though they never met. They came from Fleet Street, Knightsbridge, Wolverhampton, Sweden, and Wales. They wrote ballads, ran coffeehouses, lived on country estates; they breathed ink dust from printing presses and escaped human traffickers. What they had in common was the year of their murders: 1888. The person responsible was never identified, but the character created by the press to fill that gap has become far more famous than any of these five women. For more than a century, newspapers have been keen to tell us that "the Ripper" preyed on prostitutes. Not only is this untrue, as historian Hallie Rubenhold has discovered, but it has prevented the real stories of these fascinating women from being told. Now, in this devastating narrative of five lives, Rubenhold finally sets the record straight, revealing a world not just of Dickens and Queen Victoria, but of poverty, homelessness, and rampant misogyny. They died because they were in the wrong place at the wrong time--but their greatest misfortune was to be born women., Winner of the Baillie Gifford Prize for Nonfiction and of the Goodreads Choice Award for History & Biography The award-winning, best-selling book that changes the narrative of the "Ripper" murders forever Polly, Annie, Elisabeth, Catherine, and Mary Jane are famous for the same thing, though they never met. They came from some of London's wealthiest and poorest neighborhoods, from the factory towns of middle England, and from Wales and Sweden.
