Fiction

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.

“Delightful … with its edge-of-your-seat pace, it deserves applause.” Sunday Times (Children's Book of the Week) on The Steam Whistle Theatre Company

“Vivian French is a writer of tremendous charm.” Literary Review on The Steam Whistle Theatre Company

“Storytelling at its best … a classic in the making.” The Scotsman on The Steam Whistle Theatre Company
