Two women, bound by a child, and a secret that will change everything . . .
London, 1754. Six years after leaving her illegitimate newborn at the Foundling Hospital, Bess Bright returns to reclaim the daughter she has never known. Dreading the worst, that she has died in care, she is astonished to discover someone pretending to be Bess has already claimed her. Her life is turned upside down as she tries to find out who has taken her little girlâ??and why.
Less than a mile from Bess's poor lodgings, in a quiet Georgian townhouse, lives Alexandra, a reclusive young widow. When her close friendâ??an ambitious doctor at the orphanageâ??persuades her to hire a nursemaid to help care for her daughter, she is hesitant to welcome someone new into her home. But her past is threatening to catch up with her and tear her carefully constructed world apart.
From the Sunday Times bestselling author of The Familiars comes this captivating story of mothers and daughters, class and power, and love against the greatest of odds.
"A gripping tale of motherhood, loss, and redemption. Hall's distinctive characters and scrupulous historical detail drop us into a rich, Dickensian world full of desperation and lies, and shows us just how far a mother will go to hold onto her child." â??Serena Burdick, International bestselling author of The Girls with No Names

Audio book. Loved it ( )

As soon as I picked this up and started reading it I was pulled right into it. The author built a fascinating world of 1700's London and I could really visualise everything from the rags to the riches, everything was remarkable.
The story was told in two POV, Bess and Alexandra, Bess gave her newborn to The Foundling as she was a single mother and knew she couldn't give her what she needed at that time, but she was saving her money so she could collect the child in a few years time.
When she turned up six years later, she learns that the child was taken by her (an imposter obviously) when the child was just a day old. Bess is beside herself and wants to find her child. This leads to interactions with Alexandra and then the whole thing kind of blows up.
I really enjoyed this book, Stacey Halls wrote it so well, everything flowed at an even pace.
I would definitely recommend it. ( )

I read this book via the Pigeonhole. Having read Stacey Hall’s previous book The Familiars back in early December 2019, I was really looking forward to this one and it did not disappoint. Really well written with some great descriptions it tells the story of Bess Bright, who gives birth and gives up the child to The Foundling hospital the same day. Her intention is to return one day and retrieve her child but when she does this she discovers that someone claiming to be her collected the child the day after she entered the Foundling hospital. What follows is a great story, with a satisfying ending. I will certainly be reading Stacey Hall’s next book. ( )

Orphans and childhood is a topic I have always been interested in. And being set in Georgian England was certainly a plus. Unusually good description of working class poverty not being synonymous with working class unhappiness. I felt it fell apart at the end when it should have been at its best. ( )

Enjoyable light read, but let down by the characterisation of the wealthy widow character, and the story relies on an almost implausible coincidence. Historical setting and development of the protagonist very convincing. Based on historical fact. ( )
