The Dollmaker’s Daughters
Ruby and Rosetta Capretti grow up in an East End family whose survival depends on exhausting work in the clothing trade. The sisters dream of different futures: one is drawn towards nursing, while the other hopes to escape through performance and the music hall.
Their choices bring love, jealousy and rivalry into a household already strained by poverty. Jonas Crowe’s involvement with the family further divides the sisters, forcing them to decide whether ambition and romance will destroy the bond between them.
