Hannah Albury never knew her parents. She spent the first fifteen years of her life at The Boston Home for Little Wanderers, an orphanage. For as long as she can remember, she has felt drawn to the sea. But now that she is fifteen, she must leave the orphanage. First, she is sent west on the Orphan Train. But when she becomes strangely and mysteriously ill, Hannah knows she must return to live near the sea, and she is sent back to Boston. Upon her return to the orphanage, a position is found for Hannah - she is to work as a housemaid for a wealthy family in Boston. Back near the sea, Hannah recovers, but she still senses that there is something different about her. A handsome young arist who has come to her employer’s home to paint a portrait of his daughters appears to know something about what is wrong with Hannah, but seems unwilling to give her the answers she seeks. This book was more historical fiction with some fantasy elements, rather than fantasy with a historical setting as I had first assumed. I did overall enjoy this story but there were some unresolved plot threads that I hope are further visited in future books in the series, and I was a bit frustrated by the hint of romance that ended so abruptly. I would recommend this book to readers who like historical fiction with a hint of magic, and I'm definitley interested in reading the rest of the series to see how the story concludes.

This book surprised me. I'd read Jane Stevenson's historical novel, Astraea, a few years ago and was underwhelmed -- interesting premise, but the characters were unengaging. But I really enjoyed this collection of 3 novellas all centring round "good" (or not so good) women. All have an element of revenge, and all revolve around "unexamined assumptions". The first story, in which an unpleasant and snobbish architect trades in his wife for a younger but less socially skilled model, and duly gets his comeuppance, is full of spiky humour and cruel social satire. The second, in which a Sheffield housewife discovers her spiritual side by seeing guardian angels, seems like a light, amusing tale, but suddenly veers to an all-too-real sadness in the final pages. And the last story was a delight: I loved the character of recently widowed Alice, who has always been a "good wife and mother", silently at her husband and son's beck and call, until her son and his upwardly mobile wife start angling to push her out of her beloved house and carefully tended garden so that they can move into the rapidly appreciating and upmarket property themselves, and get their sons into a "good" school (paid for by Alice!). Her horticultural revenge is satisfying, but even more so is her discovery of her own feelings and independence beyond her family. I could almost see the shock and bewilderment on her smug son's face when she finally stood up to him. These are feminist stories at heart, but not militantly so. Beautifully written, funny, thought-provoking, sharply observant of human foibles, with characters built up through a wealth of domestic detail. A real pleasure to read.
