Publisher's Summary
Penguin presents the audiobook edition of Hope by Lesley Pearse, read by Lucy Brownhill.
Her existence would be the ruin of her mother . . .
Baby Hope, the unfortunate proof of Lady Harvey's adultery, is smuggled out of a privileged aristocratic household to a nearby village. There, her true identity a secret, she grows up in the arms of the poor, but loving, Renton family.
But the day comes when Hope must pay her way. What could be more natural than being taken into service by the Harveys? However when she sees something she should not, she is threatened and blackmailed into leaving her beloved Rentons forever.
Destitute on the streets of an unfriendly city, Hope's courage and kindness are recognized by a doctor. A talent for healing sees her taken on as nurse and destined for the horrific battlefields of the Crimea.
But will Hope ever come home and uncover the true story of her birth?

Absolutely loved this book
Such a lovely listen, I couldn’t wait to listen each time. While some parts left me scratching my head, others anxious, and even tears it was a good blend all in all. It’s about 26 hours long with each chapter ranging between 40 - 70 minutes. The narrator Lucy Brownhill a British accent did the story justice with her adjustment of tone and pitch, as she created characters in the story. They sounded the same from the start of the book to the end. I look forward to listening to another story from the author in time. I will definitely listen to another with this narrator.
