About this listen

Circumstances force eight-year-old Sarah and her widowed mother to enter the notorious St Giles and St George’s Workhouse.

When her mother dies in childbirth, the independent-minded Sarah falls foul of the workhouse master, Trigg, and his cruel wife.

Sarah’s ordeal seems to be over when a sugar mill owner takes her into his home.

But her wealthy benefactor reports Trigg and his wife. And blaming Sarah for their misfortune, in a fit of revenge, the couple decide to take the law into their own hands.

This was the best novel I have ever listened to of the genre that these fantastic British authors write in. Annie Aldington rises above all in her ability to fill your life with a story that you feel like you are living whilst listening. Brilliant work, and truly superior narration.

An absolute must to listen to, Brilliant!
