Set in Georgian London, 1754, Stacy Halls tells the story of Bess bright, a mother who has returned after leaving her illegitimate daughter at London's foundling hospital.
However, when she arrives she is told quite possibly the worst news she could ever receive: someone has already been to the hospital and reclaimed her daughter Clary.
A powerful story, the Foundling explores secrets of families and their pasts as well as class and equality all whilst proving that the power and strength of motherhood shows no bounds.
The foundling is fast paced and leaves you wanting to find out what happens next, I personally loved the elements of a dangerous past and the different perspective the novel followed.
