Growing up in the slums of London with her siblings, trying to avoid their violent, drunken father, she develops an insatiable thirst for knowledge, and becomes convinced that she and her loved ones deserve better. All Rose has is a quick mind and the will to survive. Can she open that door and seize the chance to make something of herself?©2002 Beryl Matthews (P)2003 Soundings Genre Fiction Historical Fiction

Lovely listen . The first audio book that brought tears to my eyes at the end . Annie aldington
