About this listen
THE TOP 50 BESTSELLER, a gritty, historical saga from author AnneMarie Brear
Can she keep the baby she loves?
Yorkshire Dales 1850
As a terrible storm rages, Annabelle Wallis is shocked to find a distressed young woman at her cottage door, heavy with child. Moments later a baby girl is born. But by dawn, the mother has vanished, leaving behind the helpless child wrapped only in a silk peacock shawl.
When news spreads that Lady Eliza Hartley, sister to wealthy estate owner, John Hartley, has been found dead, Annabelle realises the terrible secret she has stumbled on. Terrified she’ll be blamed for Eliza’s death, Annabelle flees to the filthy slums of York, where she plans to raise the precious orphan as her own.
The cobbled streets of York’s slums are no place for a young woman like Annabelle or a Hartley babe and John Hartley is determined to bring them both home. But Annabelle proves impossible to find.
Annabelle can’t hide forever from the wealthy Hartley family, but can she ever give up the baby she loves?
The Orphan in the Peacock Shawl is an emotional story of strength and love, perfect for fans of Dilly Court, Rosie Goodwin and Rita Bradshaw.

Brilliant story
A very moving story, beautifully written about a young orphaned girl brought up with a kind herbalist who unfortunately dies and then the intrigue begins.

As with all her books I’ve read anneMarie leaves you to surmise what the complete ending is. She leaves it open for a sequel.

Easy listening
I quite enjoyed this. I did however feel that there were a few inaccuracies and some strange changes ofcharacter name, identification along the way.
The ending was very predictable but of course it was the ending that the reader/listener wants Overall pleasant listening.

Absolutely Wonderful in Every Way
I chose this book because Anne Dover is my favourite narrator, I have not read any books by Annemarie Brear before, and I found her writing just as good as Dilly Court and Anna Jacobs. Some might not like the predictability but I found it fine, a very easy listen, kept my attention throughout and I would love to read a sequel. Will definitely listen to more by this author.
