This book was a total disappointment. I kept hearing good things about it and a lady and Chapters raved about it so much that it made me want to read it but I just could not get into this book. I only read it because I bought it and felt like I had to read it. It is about 150 pages too long and in my opinion, not worth the read.

bookworm84A tiny girl is abandoned on a ship headed for Australia in 1913. She arrives completely alone with nothing but a small suitcase containing a few clothes and a single book-a beautiful volume of fairy tales. She is taken in by the dockmaster and his wife and raised as their own. On her twenty-first birthday, they tell her the truth, and with her sense of self shattered and very little to go on, "Nell" sets out to trace her real identity. Her quest leads her to Blackhurst Manor on the Cornish coast and the secrets of the doomed Mountrachet family. But it is not until her granddaughter, Cassandra, takes up the search after Nell's death that all the pieces of the puzzle are assembled.
