The Orphan of Ironbridge

Written by Mollie Walton

Narrated by Lu Corfield

A dramatic and heartwarming Victorian saga, perfect for fans of Maggie Hope and Anne Bennett.

Shropshire, 1875.

Hettie Jones has grown up in Ironbridge. She has never known her father and, since her mother's death, has been brought up by the Malone family, who treat her as one of their own. She works as a pit girl at the local coal mine, alongside her childhood playfellow, Evan - although lately, their friendship seems to be blossoming into something more.

But when Queenie King takes a fancy to her, Hettie's life is transformed. Trained first as a lady's maid, and then hurtled into a world of luxury and gentility, she finds her new position difficult to reconcile with her past life. And with Queenie's daughter-in-law scheming against her, Hettie's situation becomes dire.

Can Hettie really use her new position for good, and will she find a way to bridge the divide between rich and poor?

Reviews for The Orphan of Ironbridge

[Dian · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

The final story in this series was not too bad but one thing for sure this writer is not a romantic she makes her characters unlikely and very ungrateful I finish the book but I would not read it again
