The pearl button girl / Annie Murray.

London : Macmillan, 2025.

ix, 389 pages ; 24 cm

Working at the local pearl button factory, Ada Fletcher is doing her best to make ends meet in trying times. When tragedy strikes and her siblings are taken to a workhouse orphanage, Ada is saved from a similar fate by her neighbour, Sarah Connell. But the roof over Ada's head doesn't come without a price: the Connells have too many children, not enough money, and Sarah's reliance on drink means that it isn't long before Ada needs to escape. Determined to be more than just a factory girl, Ada embarks on a journey to reunite with her siblings. But in a teeming industrial city, will she be able to find long-lost family as well as a home and life to call her own?
