The Runaways of Haddington Hall

The adventures of a Victorian laundry maid sent to live in a boarding-home for wayward orphans … a high octane, high drama romp!

The story starts with a young laundry maid by the name of Minnie O’Sullivan, who is whisked away to a nightmarish home for wayward girls. Her friends plot to help her, but first they’ll have to outwit Mrs Haddington, a wicked philanthropist, and Obadiah Marpike, a dastardly conman hiding in plain sight…

Irresistible characters and a compulsive plot with twists aplenty; Vivian French conjures up the very spirit of Dickensian England.
