The mill girl

Another lovely book by Rosie Goodwin and so far all of her books I've listen to have been read by the same person Charlie Sanderson which I like. I just love look into my ancestry & this one I certainly found of interest the prison although not mentioned was Winston Green just outside Birmingham and until it was revamped was certainly a chilling place. My late father-in-law went in there and he would say how it terrified him when he heard them whipping the prisoners with "the cat of nine tails".
I would highly recommend this book.

Lots of strong characters

I think there were lots of strong characters, enough to make a trilogy in my opinion. I would have liked an epilogue.

Lovely story

Once again, a lovely story as are all of Rosie
Goodwin’s books. Shame about the irritation of the narrator stressing words in inappropriate places, as though she does not understand the use of punctuation.
