From a tender age, Clemmie is certain her father's death was no accident.
For as long as she can remember, Clemmie Price and her older sister grew up in the loving care of their father, a London baker famous for his Lardy cake.
When he remarries, a sour note enters the sweet delights of the bakery, and their stepmother proves to be a heartless addition to the family.
When Clemmie's father dies in unusual circumstances, the orphans have only their cruel stepmother to take care of them.
Life is insufferable, but Clemmie's one solace is the owner of a nearby bookshop, and her loyal friendship with his son, Bram.
When tragedy strikes again, and suspicions arise, will Clemmie and Bram discover the frightful truth before it's too late...?
"The London Lardy Orphan" and all Catharine Dobbs' novellas are wholesome Victorian Romances.
