I was immediately captivated by the story of Bess, a young girl who finds herself pregnant and has to give up her baby to the Foundling hospital, as she can't afford to care for her. Only to return 6 years later to find that her daughter has been claimed by someone pretending to be her.
There's something about Stacey Halls' writing that really captures a reader and keeps them coming back for more. I love the way she creates stories from real places and events and she writes characters that you really sympathise with. I enjoyed this book as much as The Familiars, the writing is descriptive and engaging and the story is full of secrets and betrayals that make you want to keep reading. If you liked The Familiars you will love this too
