Description
In 1888 Whitechapel, Fiona Finnegan is a spirited young woman determined to escape the grinding poverty of her Irish dock-worker family and the squalid East End streets. When her father dies under mysterious circumstances and her childhood love vanishes, Fiona's world shatters, forcing her to flee to New York where she transforms a small grocery shop into a thriving tea house. Years later, haunted by the conviction that her father was murdered, Fiona returns to the dangerous streets of her childhood to uncover the truth, seek justice, and restore her family's honor. Spanning from the bleak poverty and industrial grit of Victorian London to the glittering wealth of Fifth Avenue, this sweeping novel weaves together themes of ambition, loss, revenge, and redemption. Jennifer Donnelly crafts a richly atmospheric tale that captures the resilience of one woman's journey across continents and through heartbreak to reclaim her destiny.
