My favorite so far

So glad I discovered this author and I’m enjoying all the books. This one in particular kept my interest and can’t wait to go to the next one.

Loved it!

A great read! The book was very engaging and I would love to hear more about the characters in a sequel.

Most enjoyable audio book.

I really enjoyed this book. It is set in the Englitsh Midlands in the 1800s when children and adults worked long hours in the mill or mine for. low wages. Fortunate to be part of a happy though poor family, Marianne 's strong character comes to the fore when an incident at the mill sets her on a path that will change her life. She is presented with many challenges as the story progresses and will need every ounce of courage she possesses. I absolutely loved the narration by Charie Sanderson. She has a real gift for storytelling and her ability to use regional accents is so good. She certainly did justice to Rosie Goodwin 's lovely book.

Lovely novel

The narrator Charlie Sanderson was top notch and made this story so much more! I really got totally involved with this story and highly recommend to read all of this author’s books! They are novels not to be missed!!!!!

same plot lines used in other series

good character development and the history of the times is always interesting. The narrator is good but sounds childlike..
