Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
With her trademark warmth and powerful characters, Winter's Daughter is a stunning Victorian saga—about a young child separated from her mother, and the family who bring her in from the cold.
Hull, 1856.
James Ripley and his wife Moira have always looked out for the poor of Hull. When, during one stormy night, there is a flood in a nearby cellar—a popular shelter for the homeless—James rushes to help.
Among those rescued is a dark-haired little girl who speaks a language no one can understand. Some say that she came to the cellar with her mother, but no one knows where the mother is now.
Concerned for the child's safety, James is unsure of what to do. Where has the girl's mother disappeared to? And what can be done to help the homeless who have lost the only shelter they knew?
A stunning story of family, love and the importance of kindness, from the Sunday Times bestselling author Val Wood.

For the fans of history novels...
A gently written, informative and ultimately uplifting story addressing poverty in historical Hull, England. Well read by Anne Dover.
