*An International Bestseller from the author of People Like Us,
shortlisted for the RSL Christopher Bland Prize and the RNA
Historical Romantic Novel Award 2021* From the outside, Eleanor and
Edward Hamilton have the perfect life, but they're harbouring a
secret that threatens to fracture their entire world. London, 1929.
Eleanor Hamilton is a dutiful mother, a caring sister and an
adoring wife to a celebrated war hero. Her husband, Edward, is a
pioneer in the eugenics movement. The Hamiltons are on the social
rise, and it looks as though their future is bright. When Mabel,
their young daughter, begins to develop debilitating seizures, they
have to face an uncomfortable truth: Mabel has epilepsy - one of
the 'undesirable' conditions that Edward campaigns against. Forced
to hide their daughter away so as to not jeopardise Edward's life's
work, the couple must confront the truth of their past - and the
secrets that have been buried. Will Eleanor and Edward be able to
fight for their family? Or will the truth destroy them? 'Shocking,
emotive, and compelling, but ultimately a story of hope. I loved
it' - Deborah Carr, bestselling author of The Poppy Field 'A
poignant rendering of love and motherhood, human frailty and
redemption, exquisitely told against the backdrop of the
unthinkable... Fein deftly takes the reader back to a terrifying
turning point in history and, with grace and compassion, reminds us
of the importance of standing up for what we believe in our souls
to be true' - Judithe Little, bestselling author of The Chanel
Sisters 'The Hidden Child is the thought-provoking and compelling
tale of one family and the battle to survive their daughter's
illness. A reminder that ordinary people can so often be
responsible for some of the most shocking episodes in history' -
Louise Hare, bestselling author of This Lovely City 'An astonishing
story about an aspect of British history that's long been swept
under the carpet - surprising, moving and poignant' - Frances
Quinn, bestselling author of The Smallest Man 'I was completely
under its spell in this powerful, engaging, and ultimately
heart-warming story. Bravo, Louise you've done it again!' - Gill
Thompson, author of The Oceans Between Us 'The Hidden Child is a
fascinating and thought-provoking story which is hard to put down'
- Caroline Bishop, author of The Other Daughter 'The Hidden Child
is a story of hope and redemption, of humanity and growth... both
intimate and universal in scope. I loved this compelling read and
its complex, flawed, but deeply human characters' - Addison
Armstrong, author of The Light of Luna Park
