5/19/2023 0 Comments Fallen Grace by Mary Hooper![]() ![]() Hooper delivers a stunning portrayal of 17th century England, complete with opulent characters and an abundance of child beggars even the King and Queen make a random appearance. Eventually, a boy will rescue one girl, and she will stop at nothing until her sister is by her side once again.įallen Grace is one of those novels you chew through slowly because of its meticulously and beautifully described setting. A desperate race for the money ensues as the affluent families in London begin to plot for ways to take advantage of the Parkes sisters, and the trusting girls step right into these well-woven traps. And what a messy future it is, for the entirety of legal London is abuzz over Grace and Lily, two oblivious heiresses to a huge fortune left by their deceased father. When Grace - barely sixteen herself - gives birth to a stillborn baby boy, she embarks on a train ride that causes her to crash head-on into two individuals who ultimately come to define the sisters’ messy future. Orphaned at a young age, Grace and Lily Parkes barely scrape by living off of the revenue from their watercress-selling operation. This review may also be found on A Thousand Little Pages. ![]()
