The new novel from Britain's best-loved saga author.

Warwickshire, 1875

Emerald Pritchard has lived a privileged life with her parents and her younger sister, Abigail, in the stately Astley House on the outskirts of Nuneaton. But all that suddenly changes when her father disappears leaving the family in debt. They are forced to throw themselves on the mercy of Emerald's uncle who begrudgingly allows them to live in a small cottage within the grounds of his farm.

Desperate to find work, Emerald is forced to leave her family and travel to London to become the companion of a distant aunt she's never met.

Rebellious Abigail is unwilling to lower herself to doing the menial farm chores and instead runs away, finding work as a hostess in a club in Soho, where she soon finds herself in desperate trouble.

Emerald is alone in the unfamiliar capital that brings its own dangers. Will she ever be able to find happiness and reunite her family again?

The third one did not disappoint.

I continue to grow in my love for this author and enjoy listening every moment that I can. I look forward to finding more from this author since this concludes this series. I would love to follow the characters from where this story concluded.

Fist few chapters hard but after amazing

The first few chapters were hard to get into. And the mindset of the mother and the sister just annoyed me. But once I got through that and into the main storyline, I actually really enjoyed it. It wasn’t one of my favourite books but it was a really good book for doing work to like I was filing papers and doing entries and I found it very entertaining. I will warn it has a few sexual abuse scenes so for anyone with kids or a history in it, they could be triggered but all in all, if you just skipped them like I did, it was a well written book.
