About this ebook
A compelling story that tingles with drama, tension and an overwhelming sense of love. Perfect for the fans of Jo Cox and Rosie Goodwin.
The boom years immediately after the Great War bring nothing but happiness for wealthy industrialist Wigmore Stratfield-Whyte and his wife Clarissa – until tragedy robs them of their greatest treasure.
Many years later, an horrific fatal accident brings young Meg Chandler, a spirited farmer's daughter, into their lives. Meg wants nothing to do with them, but Clarissa is drawn irresistibly towards the bereaved girl and will move heaven and earth to help her. Will Meg allow Clarissa into her own shattered life, and can the two share a future happiness together? And will Meg's new acquaintances bring her the contentment she craves – or seek to destroy her?
Set in the Kent countryside in the years leading up to the Second World War, this compelling saga tingles with drama, tension and an overwhelming sense of love.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Wigmore and Clarissa lose what's most dear to them. Because of Clarissa's fragile mental state afterwards they move to the country, into Robin Hill House. They take Nana May, the woman who raised Wig, with them and are hoping for a better future. However, tragedy strikes again, this time in the form of an accident that causes a girl named Meg to lose both of her parents. Meg doesn't have anyone and Clarissa offers her a place to stay. Will the arrival of the young angry and heartbroken girl have a healing effect on Clarissa or will it have the exact opposite effect?
Meg is a farmer at heart and never thought she'd have to leave her family home. Wig and Clarissa can't replace the loving family she comes from, even though they try to be there for her. Meg has to keep going, but it won't be easy. While most people at Robin Hill House are happy she's there not everyone is welcoming to Meg. Has she made a mistake agreeing to stay there or will she have a good future with the people she used to be so furious with?
Nobody's Girl is a brilliant impressive story. It starts with two very tragic events and my heart ached for both Clarissa and Meg. I shed quite a few tears while reading the first few chapters of Nobody's Girl. Tania Crosse describes their grief in a gorgeous truthful and emphatic way. While there's plenty of sadness to begin with there's also hope. Some wounds never heal completely, but love and care can take some of the pain away, which is an important message. I loved the way Tania Crosse writes about it and could easily feel it, it radiates off the pages, which is one of the things that makes Nobody's Girl so special. Something else that made me fall in love with the story straight away is the personalities of the main characters. Clarissa and Meg are beautiful people, both inside and out.
Tania Crosse has a great heartwarming writing style. I was mesmerized by it from the start. She writes about the surprising ways life can turn out in a natural and believable way. I love how everyone at Robin Hill House is part of a big family, they aren't all related by blood, but they are connected through their souls, which is something incredibly precious. I really enjoyed reading about Meg and Clarissa and was sad when I reached the end of their story. The last chapter is fabulously fitting and romantic and it made me eager to read the next book. I highly recommend Nobody's Girl, it's absolutely fantastic.
