About The Foundling
In Georgian London, Bess Bright comes back to the Foundling Hospital six years after leaving her baby Clara there. Instead of reclaiming her child, she is told that Clara has already been collected by someone pretending to be Bess. The search for the missing girl leads to a secluded widow, a hidden household, and a mystery about motherhood, class, and power.
