Publisher Description
A heartbreaking historical novel from the No.1 bestselling author of Stolen
Charity Stratton's bleak childhood is changed for ever when both her parents are killed in a fire. Separated by the authorities from her younger brothers and sister, Charity is sent out to work as a skivvy in a boys' boarding school. Her loneliness and misery are eased when she falls deeply in love with the dashing but fickle sixth-former, Hugh Mainwaring, but when she discovers she is pregnant with Hugh's baby she soon realises just how alone she really is.
Determined to be reunited with her siblings and to make something of herself, Charity runs away to London and begins to forge a new life.
Customer Reviews
Charity
Had me on edge for most off the book , loved the way it moved through the years without feeling you had been cheated. I couldn’t put this book down , so very true to life
Not Her Best
Not one of Lesley Pearse’s good books. Too much description and not enough storey. Won’t put me off reading her other books of which I’ve read so many but this is definitely not up there with the best. Was a struggle to finish.
