About this listen

Circumstances force eight-year-old Sarah and her widowed mother to enter the notorious St Giles and St George’s Workhouse.

When her mother dies in childbirth, the independent-minded Sarah falls foul of the workhouse master, Trigg, and his cruel wife.

Sarah’s ordeal seems to be over when a sugar mill owner takes her into his home.

But her wealthy benefactor reports Trigg and his wife. And blaming Sarah for their misfortune, in a fit of revenge, the couple decide to take the law into their own hands.

She has done it again, Dilly Court has to be the best story teller in the land. A truly superb tale of rags to riches and everything in between. 5 stars

Such a fabulous adventure

I did enjoy listening but found the storyline a little unbelievable (yes I know it’s fiction!) and a little predictable.
But, all in all, it was an entertaining listen.

Enjoyable but unbelievable & predictable.
