This is a good read but runs along the lines familiar to Maggie Hope's other novels and similar to Catherine Cookson novels.
Lorinda becomes an orphan and is sent to live with her aunt and uncle who own a boarding house where Lorinda is no more than a scivvy and her aunt refuses to let her attend school, The novel encompasses such tragedies of an over-enthusiastic uncle, being alone, befriending a lodger only for him to move on with is work and so forth. Various characters come in and out of Lorinda's life during the novel each affecting her differently as she deals with the daily grind of everyday living in Victorian Britain.
A well written story but lacks that zing or something different but is also a nice read for readers who enjoy this genre
