Book
Mermaids Singing
Kitty Cox begins as a mudlark in London’s East End, searching the Thames for anything that can be sold. A position as a lady’s maid carries her into a Mayfair household, where she becomes attached to Lady Bella and briefly experiences a world far removed from the riverside slums.
When conflict over a child and the household’s secrets destroys that security, Kitty is drawn back towards hardship. Her attempt to protect those she loves forces her to cross the boundaries between servant and mistress, poverty and privilege.
