The Slum Lady: A heartwarming women’s saga story (Victorian Runaway Women)
£2.80
One tormented lady. A daring escape. A chance for a new beginning.
1890s London
Pushed to breaking point, feisty Lady Catherine Frankland takes the bold and controversial decision to flee her terrifying husband for good, preferring a life of poverty in London’s East End.
Desperate, she believes even the slums will offer a greater chance of fulfilment in life than her idyllic – but prison-like – stately home. In a brave fight for survival, she mysteriously vanishes, leaving those behind wondering if she is alive – or dead.
An unlikely friendship with an impoverished but wily tenement neighbour enables the well-to-do lady to adjust to her new lifestyle. Alas, when Catherine secures a housemaid’s position in Mayfair, her aristocratic past suddenly catches up with her with dire consequences. Caught between her past and the future she longs for, Catherine must make a life-altering decision that could change everything.
—
Join Catherine on her heartwrenching, emotional journey as this strong woman navigates the challenges of escaping her past, building a new life, and daring to hope for love and happiness amidst the hardships she faces.

Lots of twists and turns, couldn’t put it down. Intriguing, I couldn’t work out what the outcome was going to be.

This book was hard to get into but once the story unfolded it was interesting and not too predictable. However whoever proof read the original copy missed several mistakes, it detracted from the enjoyment a little but overall was a good read.

I just could not put this down, at one point I was falling asleep whilst reading it, but finish it I did ????????
by Margaret
A good plot which could have been told with more twists and turns. It could even have been made into a series of books.
However it was too fast moving and simplistic. Every problem was immediately solved.
I still enjoyed reading it though!
