Publisher's summary

Penguin presents the audiobook edition of Hope by Lesley Pearse, read by Lucy Brownhill. 

Her existence would be the ruin of her mother....

Baby Hope, the unfortunate proof of Lady Harvey's adultery, is smuggled out of a privileged aristocratic household to a nearby village. There, her true identity a secret, she grows up in the arms of the poor but loving Renton family. 

But the day comes when Hope must pay her way. What could be more natural than being taken into service by the Harveys? However, when she sees something she should not, she is threatened and blackmailed into leaving her beloved Rentons forever. 

Destitute on the streets of an unfriendly city, Hope's courage and kindness are recognised by a doctor. A talent for healing sees her taken on as nurse and destined for the horrific battlefields of the Crimea.

But will Hope ever come home and uncover the true story of her birth?

what was that

I feel that I wasted my credit on this book. it was 10 hours too long. The author threw everything she could think of into the story. I did like the characters but the story could have ended way before it did.
