About this audiobook
Whitechapel, London 1890. Queenie Bonner is only two when she is taken from her large family in the slums to a big house in the country. She is frightened and confused, begging to be taken back, but is told that this is now her home. She yearns for her nine brothers and sisters, especially Harry, who is her favorite. Albert and Mary Warrender rename her Eleanor and bring her up as their daughter. As time passes Eleanor forgets about her other family and loves Mary and Albert as her mother and father. But fifteen years later, when Mary dies, Albert tells her about the Bonners. With Albert's help, she sets about tracing her forgotten family. The search holds pleasure, distress, and even danger as she discovers what has happened to her siblings over the years.

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5The premise of the book is promising: 2-year-old child from the slums sold by her desperate parents to a wealthy family. When the child is 17, her adoptive father tells her the truth about her origins, and even though she is horrified, she searches and finds her biological parents and her siblings. Unfortunately, after the first few chapters, the story turns bland, no surprises, all of the siblings are wonderful except for one token villian who only makes a token appearance. Everything turns out perfectly for everyone, and it equals boring and a disappointment.
