Acheson, give us more fiction! Product details I did not expect suspense, but WOW, the suspense cam hurtling in, and more than any other book I've read, the reader cannot help but go half-crazy waiting to find out the ending. It was about the life of a very impoverished girl in 1800's England, very Dickens-like literature. Then it began to get better and better and by the last half it became wonderful. It looked interesting, but the 'look inside' seemed very simplistic, and indeed it seemed a bit trite for the first few chapters.

The Last Gift edition by Carla Acheson Literature Fiction eBooks As her life unfolds into every victorian girl's worst nightmare she does all she can to save her baby from a disease-ridden orphanage and takes drastic decisions to save both the child and herself, but when her pain and loss continues to haunt her for years to come, one unexpected day, one last gift changes everything. She returns home only to be plunged into the social stigma of bastardy and shame. Her father’s constant insobriety and lack of employment means they are all soon destined for the workhouse.Ī tight-lipped nun acquires a position for Maggie as a servant for an upper class family, but there she encounters further turmoil by falling pregnant to their eldest son. Her grandmother's death is the first taste of her bitter circumstances followed by her mother's newborn twins. Maggie Tanner is a young girl born to an impoverished family in the slums of London.

Imagine life in a damp and squalid room with death and disease lurking at every corner. The Last Gift edition by Carla Acheson Literature Fiction eBooks Download As PDF : The Last Gift edition by Carla Acheson Literature Fiction eBooks
