书籍简介

迷人的《星期日泰晤士报》畅销书

两个被孩子绑在一起的女人，还有一个会改变一切的秘密…

1754年，伦敦。贝丝·布莱特将她的私生女克拉拉留在伦敦的弃婴医院六年后，又回来领回她从未见过的孩子。贝丝担心的情况还是出现了，她的孩子克拉拉在护理中就已经死亡了，但她惊讶地被告知她已经领回了她的孩子。她的生活发生了翻天覆地的变化，她试图找出谁带走了她的小女儿，以及为什么。

离贝丝在城里的住处不到一英里，在伦敦边缘一个安静、阴暗的联排别墅里，一个年轻的寡妇已经十年没有离开过房子。当她的密友——一位雄心勃勃的创始医院的年轻医生，劝说她为女儿雇用一名女佣时，她对欢迎新的人进入她的家和她的生活感到犹豫不决。但她的过去正威胁着她，并将她精心构建的世界撕碎。

Two women, bound by a child, and a secret that will change everything . . .

London, 1754. Six years after leaving her illegitimate daughter Clara at London's Foundling Hospital, Bess Bright returns to reclaim the child she has never known. Dreading the worst, that Clara has died in care, Bess is astonished to be told she has already claimed her. Her life is turned upside down as she tries to find out who has taken her little girl - and why.

Less than a mile from Bess's lodgings in the city, in a quiet, gloomy townhouse on the edge of London, a young widow has not left the house in a decade. When her close friend - an ambitious young doctor at the Foundling Hospital - persuades her to hire a nursemaid for her daughter, she is hesitant to welcome someone new into her home and her life. But her past is threatening to catch up with her and tear her carefully constructed world apart.

From the bestselling author of The Familiars comes this captivating story of mothers and daughters, class and power, and love against the greatest of odds . . .
