A Mother's Shame

By: Rosie Goodwin

Narrated by: Juanita McMahon

On the outskirts of Nuneaton stands Hatters Hall, home to the mentally insane. One rainy, dismal day in 1857, Maria Mundy arrives there to work.

She is ordered to care for Isabelle Montgomery, daughter of an influential land-owner, but it becomes apparent that she has been falsely imprisoned. It’s going to take courage, determination, and resolve - but freedom is always worth fighting for.

Critic reviews

"Rosie is a born storyteller...you'll care for her characters and lose yourself in her story." (Jeannie Johnson)

"A touching and powerful new novel from a wonderful writer" ( Bookseller)

Slow and Boring

This book started interestingly enough but it eventually became slow and boring. The characters, especially one of them, became caricatures. I could only finish Part 1 and then I had enough. I believe I could predict what was going to happen and how it was going to end. The narrator was good. She is probably the reason I hung in there as long as I did.
