About this listen

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.

Great 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.

Wonderful story!

I enjoyed listening to this Victorian novel. It was a sad start to the story. But, a very happy ending. Charlie Sanderson is a brilliant narrator. I must recommend it.

Another great listen

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!
