About the book

Set in 1754 London, The Lost Orphan follows Bess Bright as she returns to the Foundling Hospital six years after leaving her newborn. Expecting the worst, she instead finds someone else has claimed the child and must unravel who has taken her daughter and why.

Nearby, Alexandra, a withdrawn young widow, struggles to protect a fragile household when connections to the orphanage and a new nursemaid threaten to expose long-buried secrets. The two women's lives become entwined as the story examines parenthood, social rank, and identity in Georgian England.

Rich in period detail and moral complexity, the novel blends a tense mystery with intimate character study. Readers who enjoy atmospheric historical fiction and emotionally layered plots will find much to explore here.
