The Beggar Maid

A wonderfully nostalgic, compelling story of hope and bravery against all odds, from the Sunday Times bestselling author.

City of London, 1887: At eight years old, Charity Crosse is thrust into hardship, living on the streets with her ailing grandfather. When he tragically dies, Charity, now aged 16, finds salvation working at a local bookshop.

Despite the harsh owner and meagre pay, Charity dreams of a better future surrounded by the books she’s always longed to read. But danger looms when the owner dies unexpectedly, and she faces homelessness again. With threats around every corner, will Charity fulfil her dreams to run the bookshop herself and find the security she craves?
