Absolutely loved this book ! It intrigued me from the start and I couldn't put it down - it is so atmospheric and transported me to London in the 1750's. The story is about Bess , she has a baby that she can't look after as she is unmarried and lives with her father so she takes the baby only 1 day old to the Foundling hospital where babies are taken whose mothers are unable to take care of them. She leaves her here but vows to return and collect her when she has saved up enough money to pay the collection fee. When Bess goes back to claim her her daughter has gone ! She has been claimed by someone who said she was her mother. Its a gripping story of how Bess tries to find her daughter - I loved Staceys writing she really brings the characters to life . I can't stop thinking about this book and will be recommending it to all my friends
