Summary

Ginny's drunken father, devastated by the death of her mother and three siblings, ends up imprisoned for murder. Charlie, Ginny's eight-year-old sickly brother, is taken to the workhouse.

Ginny is forced to flee her job at the pie shop and the unwanted advances of the baker. Close to breaking point, her beauty leads her to become Lady's Maid to the difficult Miss Diana at Lamp Hill Hall. However, all Ginny wants is to find her brother.

A lovely book

I thoroughly enjoyed this book from start to finish. All the way it kept wanting me to get to the next chapter and had a lovely end that I wasn’t expecting.

Wonderful story!

I loved this book, as I do all of Rosie Goodwin’s stories. I looked forward to what would be my next opportunity to listen. I’m sorry to say that the one downside was the way in which the narrator seemed to stress words in the wrong places and accentuate punctuation - one thing I found quite irritating but thankfully, the story itself was strong enough to outweigh that.

Another Wonderful Story

I love all of the Rosie Goodwin books I have read so far. I’m of the old school where I love a happy ending. This one made me cry. Keep them coming please.

How can you not love this book

Well written as always and well researched heart-warming stories with happy endings rags to riches with enough hesitation in there to make it interesting. I love the fact she uses similar settings and refers to things in other books whilst changing the direction of the story and the characters within.

Good narration with no squeaky characters in there and good intonation.

Looking forward to choosing my next easy read! Thank you Rosie!

several times I felt I knew what was going to happen but I was wrong, it kept me on tenterhooks and I ended up cheering for the characters. I loved this book and was torn between wanting to know what happened in the end and yet not wanting it to end. loved if
