About this listen

Sweeping and evocative, The Hidden Girl is a lost treasure from the author of The Seven Sisters series, Lucinda Riley. Discover this reimagined novel from an author loved by millions of readers worldwide.

You can’t alter destiny . . .

Born and raised in a small village on the Yorkshire moors, Leah Thompson grows more beautiful with each passing day. When she catches the attention of the influential, troubled Delancey family, she knows her life will never be the same again.

Years later, Leah takes the modelling world by storm, travelling from Milan to London and New York and living life in the lap of luxury. But her past follows her like a dark shadow, mysteriously intertwined with the tragic tale of two young siblings in Poland during the Second World War.

As two generations of secrets threaten to explode, Leah is haunted by a fatal, forgotten prophecy from her past, and must fight to challenge the destiny that has been mapped out for her in the stars . . .

Long before she became the bestselling author of The Seven Sisters series, Lucinda Riley wrote Hidden Beauty as Lucinda Edmonds. This standalone novel has been reworked and given new life as The Hidden Girl by Harry Whittaker, Lucinda’s son and co-author of Atlas: The Story of Pa Salt.

Five-star reader reviews:

'All I can say is WOW . . . Lucinda Riley is a master storyteller, and this book is an epic lost masterpiece

‘There are so many aspects to this novel: a beautiful love story, a family saga, the modelling world, greed and revenge. I was totally engrossed

‘This sweeping, epic tale takes you from the wilds of the Yorkshire moors to New York. It’s moving, poignant and full of friendship, love, and loss with many twists along the way’

'The historical elements were beautifully researched and added so much depth to the story. What I loved most was the emotional journey. The themes of love, loss, and redemption were handled with such sensitivity and grace'

Emotional rollercoaster incredibly well thought out and well told story, other authors could have written 5 separate novels with the material, I believe it is a great read, but not for the faint hearted!

Emotional rollercoaster incredibly good story, but some of the subject matter is horrifying

The story with its twists and turns was brilliant. Only let down by the narrator who seriously cannot do male voices. Sounded the same as the female voices. Other than that the narrator was great.

Wonderful enthralling story
