A gripping and moving read
Pacy, highly atmospheric from the very first page. The strands of tense and devastating maternal conflict are acutely observed and beautifully sustained. Stacey really has created warm and memorable characters, drawn with great sympathy and understanding, who deliver a taut and riveting read. With rich storytelling and a compelling narrative, The Foundling is subtle, satisfying and intensely moving; a fabulous example of great historical fiction.
