Nobody knows yet that she is a murderer....
Abandoned at the gates of a London park one winter's night in 1850, baby Lily Mortimer is saved by a young police constable and taken to the London Foundling Hospital. Lily is fostered by an affectionate farming family in rural Suffolk, enjoying a brief childhood idyll before she is returned to the hospital, where she is punished for her rebellious spirit. Released into the harsh world of Victorian London, Lily becomes a favoured employee at Belle Prettywood's Wig Emporium, but all the while she is hiding a dreadful secret....
Across the years, policeman Sam Trench keeps watch over the young woman he once saved. When Sam meets Lily again, there is an instant attraction between them, and Lily is convinced that Sam holds the key to her happiness - but might he also be the one to uncover her crime and so condemn her to death?

A marvellous story highly recommended it to anybody. A book that you can not put down correction won’t be able to stop until the end.

Beautiful
Tremain writes so eloquently and with such feeling, one of my favourite authors now. She deals with gritty, difficult topics so sensitively. I found this book heartbreaking but also so uplifting, she brings balance to a gruelling story. As always, delves deeply into her characters so that you are with them every step of the way.

Wonderful story
I’ve read quite a few reviews of this book that were less than complimentary and I don’t know why. It’s not a murder mystery, it’s very real and I love how the author describes very real emotional responses. There’s no neat ending, but it’s a true one. Really lovely, sad, but hopeful story.
