About this listen

On the outskirts of Nuneaton stands Hatters Hall, home to the mentally insane. One rainy, dismal day in 1857, Maria Mundy arrives there to work.

She is ordered to care for Isabelle Montgomery, daughter of an influential land-owner, but it becomes apparent that she has been falsely imprisoned. It’s going to take courage, determination, and resolve - but freedom is always worth fighting for.

Loved it but accents went anywhere from Wiltshire to cornish for local people. The servants sounded out of breath and loud. Love Rosie's books but this narrator did it no justice.
Story lovely xxxx

I have really enjoyed this story, a different author but very well narrated.
Life as it was in years gone by but never the less how people had to make the most of what they had and hope all would good in the end.
I recommend to other audio listeners.
