The Winter Waif by Lynette Rees is the latest book to be released from the bestselling author and is her first via Boldwood Books.
All she wants is a place to call home…
1884 – When Betsan Morgan’s mother succumbs to a devastating illness, she doesn’t think her life could get much worse. But then her father moves in his new beau, an unserious flitty woman and coincidentally also the bargirl in the pub he works in, and she soon learns her house is no longer a home.
All she can do is sit in the attic and stare at the portrait of her mother. Her new stepmother, Elinor, couldn’t even let them have the grace of keeping it in the hallway.
When Elinor takes things too far – selling her dear mother’s beloved sewing machine – Betsan decides to flee, leaving in search of her estranged aunt, who she last heard was living in the working district of Merthyr Tydfil.
But the dank and dark place is not somewhere a twelve-year-old girl should stray alone, and lest she wants to end up in a workhouse, she’ll have to watch her step…
The Winter Waif is a book that packs an emotional punch. As sagas go, it has everything you want. It makes you feel happy, heartbroken and every emotion in between as you read.
It’s one of those reads that makes you forget the world and makes you feel at peace and relaxed once you have finished reading it. A beautiful read!
