   BBC Radio 4 Bookclub (288) Interpersonal Novels (88) Actuellement, il n'y a pas de discussions au sujet de ce livre.   ) ChristineMiller47 | Apr 5, 2024 |  The story was told in two POV, Bess and Alexandra, Bess gave her newborn to The Foundling as she was a single mother and knew she couldn't give her what she needed at that time, but she was saving her money so she could collect the child in a few years time. When she turned up six years later, she learns that the child was taken by her (an imposter obviously) when the child was just a day old. Bess is beside herself and wants to find her child. This leads to interactions with Alexandra and then the whole thing kind of blows up. I really enjoyed this book, Stacey Halls wrote it so well, everything flowed at an even pace. I would definitely recommend it.
