Bessie Mundy, Alice Burnham & Margaret Lofty are three women with one thing in common. They are spinsters & are desperate to marry.

In the dark opening months of the First World War, Britain became engrossed by ' The Brides in the Bath' trial. The horror of the killing fields of the Western Front was the backdrop to a murder story whose elements were of a different sort.

Product Description

Ginny is devastated by the death of her mother, her two little brothers & her sister
- but her father is destroyed by the loss.

After a series of drunken mistakes, her father is imprisoned for murder, & Ginny & her little brother Charlie lose the only home they've ever known. 

Worse is to come. Charlie is only eight years old & has a weak chest. Ginny is determined to keep him with her, but he is taken to the workhouse before she has a chance to save him.

Lonely & desperate, Ginny wanders the streets of Nuneaton. She finds honest work at the pie shop
- until she is forced to fight off the unwanted advances of the baker & she's out on the streets. 

It's only then that she remembers her father's final words
- the housekeeper of Lamp Hill Hall will help her. Soon Ginny is employed as a laundry maid, the very lowest rung of the ladder.

Her beauty & grace mean that she catches the eye of the house's mistress, who raises Ginny up to play lady's maid to the difficult & demanding Miss Diana. 

All Ginny wants is to find her brother
- & it will take all her strength of heart & courage to bring her family together again.
