I have this awful fear of finding myself one day without any more Madeleine Brent books to read 😱😢.

 Bridie Chance loses everything and ends up a part of a vaudevillian team in Edwardian England. Raised in wealth, she is shocked one day to find that her beloved father is not only dead but a well-known jewel thief.
I really love this novel. It is a classic Madeleine Brent story- the female main character is in some sort of bad circumstances, but finds her way out of it.
Excellent book if you can find it!Â

Oh, Brent is a delight! I'm so grateful I found this author! Except, I keep neglecting my work because these books are impossible to put down. I feel like Brent is a mixture of Mary Stewart and Dorothy Gilman--two authors I adore. I don't love this book as much as Moonraker's Bride but it's definitely a close second!
