Nobody’s Girl

Description

Hector Malot. Thirteen-year-old Perrine arrives in Paris with her sick mother. They want to get to her dead father’s relatives north of Paris before their money and health run out. However, the mother dies while still in the city, so Perrine journeys on alone. Even in her desperate poverty, she will not stoop to stealing but proves her truthfulness and loyalty at her new job. And in the end, her dying mother’s vision came true, for she had said, “I see my darling will be loved!” 220 ­pages; paper; Inheritance Publications.
