The Guilty Child
Hattie Finch
Stella and her parents work in the house of the wealthy and reputable Edward Barrington. Stella has heard strange rumours about Mister Barrington, but until recently she was too young to understand them.
Not any more.
Now she’s not a child. She’s a young woman.
One terrible afternoon, everything changes. The truth about Mister Barrington is right there in front of her, and she does what she must to protect herself from it.
Less than a day later, Stella and her parents are cast out onto the street. Their reputation is in ruins, and they must brave the city’s most inhospitable corners just to survive.
As tragedy follows tragedy, Stella finds herself drawn into a world she doesn’t understand. A world with no hope of a brighter tomorrow.
The Guilty Child is by turns heartbreaking and heartwarming, full of the sort of characters Hattie’s readers know so well. Let Hattie take you to the darkest streets of Victorian London, where the people are desperate and life is impossibly hard.
