Summary

Abandoned by all who should protect her, the workhouse swallows the young life of Olivia Coomb. It also swallows her voice.

Who could ever love a mute and broken girl like Olivia? Franklin Slater wants nothing more, but society slays his advances, and Olivia is forced to flee once again.

It seems that even the prayers of the voiceless fall on deaf ears.

Is there no voice to speak up for this hidden heroine of the dark, Victorian streets?

Can Franklin muster courage to find the woman he once desired and forsake his fears and family? And does the mysterious veiled lady he meets hold secrets that will lead him back to the heart of his one true love?

If you love historical Victorian sagas that celebrate the resilience of the human heart in the face of insurmountable challenges, you will love the deep and moving story of the Workhouse Girl and the Veiled Lady.

Just not very good - so different to what I expected

Rarely do I give negative reviews.
Sadly, this for me was a poor story (imo), poor-average narration (which I suspect played a part in my struggle to engage with the story) and entirely different to what seemed advertised, and yes I did listen to the preview.
I struggled to stay focused on any of it.
