Summary
Penguin presents the audiobook edition of Hope by Lesley Pearse, read by Lucy Brownhill.
Her existence would be the ruin of her mother....
Baby Hope, the unfortunate proof of Lady Harvey's adultery, is smuggled out of a privileged aristocratic household to a nearby village. There, her true identity a secret, she grows up in the arms of the poor but loving Renton family.
But the day comes when Hope must pay her way. What could be more natural than being taken into service by the Harveys? However, when she sees something she should not, she is threatened and blackmailed into leaving her beloved Rentons forever.
Destitute on the streets of an unfriendly city, Hope's courage and kindness are recognised by a doctor. A talent for healing sees her taken on as nurse and destined for the horrific battlefields of the Crimea.
But will Hope ever come home and uncover the true story of her birth?

Hope ... by Lesley Pearse
Another brilliant book written by Lesley Pearse. History, hardship, enduring characters with so much emotion. A real page turner. I loved it.

Hope by Lesley Pearse
Fabulous first book, but the second one went into too much detail, and for to long about the Crimea war. Such a excellent writer though.

HOPE
My motto is Live in Hope and this book certainly came up to standard and kept me engrossed. Having recently started Lesley Pearse books I am enthralled by this storyteller and can't wait for the next treat.

Love conquers all
Conditions during the early to mid 19th century were difficult for the labouring class and dire for the poor. The horrors of the Crimean War are graphically described and yet this is an uplifting tale.

Good story, shame about voice!
Narration was irritating throughout but I enjoyed the contents of the story. Spoken at a whisper most of the time it distracted from the actual story. Shame.

Another corker from Lesley Pearce.
I’m a huge fan of Lesley Pearce and I can say that ‘Hope’ was one the most enjoyable novels I’ve read or listened to so far.

Brilliant
Absolutely adored this book. It captured me from start to end. I’m so sad it came to an end. It would make a great movie. I envy anyone who hasn’t read it yet…enjoy!
