'Quite a romp!' Val Wood A new resident has fetched up at the House of Help for Friendless Girls and she’s about to set the cat amongst the pigeons… Nineteen-year old Nan Turpin is in trouble again, accused of stealing. She’s guilty. Cast out by her family, she turns to the House of Help for Friendless Girls, which promises Nan a fresh start – it’s the House or gaol. She and warden Hetty immediately clash, but Hetty has her own secrets to keep her busy. With her sister Amelia drawing ever closer to their dark family past, will Hetty find the courage to reveal the truth before it’s too late? As romance blossoms for Nan outside of the House, can resist her lightfingered ways to forge a future for herself? A dramatic and compelling Victorian saga for fans of Val Wood, Emma Hornby and Kitty Neale. Praise for The Lightfingered Lass ‘Compelling and heartwarming. I loved the sassiness of the characters… it’s littered with interesting historical facts’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Reader review ‘I really enjoyed this book and loved the style of writing’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Reader review
