About this listen

"You're Nellie Westrop, and don't you forget it. We'll see each other one day, but until we do, take good care of yourself. Live a good life. Now go, my love."

From the author of Silver Darlings comes LK Wilde's captivating portrayal of the life of Queenie Read. Heartwarming and heartbreaking in equal measure, Queenie of Norwich is perfect for fans of The Foundling, Where the Crawdads Sing, and The Smallest Man.

People say you get one life, but I've lived three. I was born Ellen Hardy in 1900, dragged up in Queen Caroline's Yard, Norwich. There was nothing royal about our yard, and Mum was no queen.

At six years old, Mum sold me. I became Nellie Westrop, roaming the country in a showman's wagon, learning the art of the fair.

And I've been the infamous Queenie of Norwich, moving up in the world by any means, legal or not.

I've been heartbroken, abandoned, bought and sold, but I've never, ever given up. After all, it's not where you start that's important, but where you end up.

Based on a true story, Queenie of Norwich is the compelling tale of one remarkable girl's journey to womanhood. Spanning the first half of the 20th century, Queenie's story is one of heartbreak and triumph, love and loss, and the power of family. It is a story of redemption, and how, with grit and determination, anything is possible.

Ellen was dealt a lousy hand in life when she got the mother she had. The best thing her mother ever did for her was to sell her to Julia.. It was wonderful to see that Nell realized this. And took time to thank Julia before she died.
Nell was a fighter, and the only person she took crap from was her mother, but at the same time she had a heart of gold. Lesson learned, don’t judge a book by its cover. And don’t judge people until you’ve walked in their shoes.

Not my idea of good old days

The description and narrator brought the characters to life. I actually had to hit pause for fear of openly crying for Nelly in a public place!! Well written!

Resilience at its best!!
