My first first impression was wow-look at that cover! It’s so in keeping with the time the book is set in being so intricate and delicate.
My second first impression was the excitement that the novel was set in London and draws on the history from this era. Living an grown up on London I love reading about this city.
I really enjoy fiction and being thrown straight into Georgian England and a moment where a woman is giving up her baby is poignant and a true cliffhanger. Wnat a way to begin The Foundling! Already it sets my mind spilling with questions. What will become of Clara? Will she ever be reunited with her mother?
The opening chapter jumps straight in and establishes the focal point of the novel.
