The Bastard Child weaves the stories of two women, Sara and Bessie, separated by 120 years. Sara believes that Bessie is her ancestor, yet her years of searching have yielded no proof of it. As she digs into her family’s past, enemies from her own life intrude, keeping Sara from what she wants most.The overall plot is an interesting one, weaving a historical Dickensian tale set in the late 1800s with a mystery set in the recent past. While there are some minor errors and typos throughout the book, they do not detract from the overall quality of the storytelling. A recommended read.
