Overview
Cuando las sufragistas se manifestaban en las calles de Nueva York y los sindicalistas luchaban por unas condiciones de trabajo dignas, a las chicas descarriadas las encerraban en la Casa de la Misericordia.
Cerca de la mansión familiar de Luella y Effie Tildon se cierne la Casa de la Misericordia, una institución para mujeres caídas en desgracia, mujeres consideradas indignas de vivir en sociedad. Bajo esa sombra amenazadora, las hermanas crecen sabiendo que, incluso para jóvenes acomodadas como ellas, la libertad tiene límites muy estrictos.
Todo cambia cuando juntas descubren un secreto familiar escandaloso y Luella, la mayor y más atrevida, decide que ella tiene derecho a hacer lo que le plazca. El día que Luella desaparece misteriosamente, Effie sospecha que su padre ha cumplido la amenaza de ingresarla en la Casa de la Misericordia, así que elabora un plan para salvarla. Sin embargo, comete un error y nadie cree su historia. A partir de ese momento, el destino de Effie estará en manos de Mable, una enigmática compañera de encierro. De la incipiente amistad y la confianza entre ambas dependerán sus posibilidades de sobrevivir.
Una historia de esperanza, coraje y sororidad, inspirada en la Casa de la Misericordia y las mujeres allí confinadas.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
INSTANT INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER
A beautiful tale of hope, courage, and sisterhood—inspired by the real House of Mercy and the girls confined there for daring to break the rules.
Growing up in New York City in the 1910s, Luella and Effie Tildon realize that even as wealthy young women, their freedoms come with limits. But when the sisters discover a shocking secret about their father, Luella, the brazen elder sister, becomes emboldened to do as she pleases. Her rebellion comes with consequences, and one morning Luella is mysteriously gone.
Effie suspects her father has sent Luella to the House of Mercy and hatches a plan to get herself committed to save her sister. But she made a miscalculation, and with no one to believe her story, Effie’s own escape seems impossible—unless she can trust an enigmatic girl named Mable. As their fates entwine, Mable and Effie must rely on their tenuous friendship to survive.
Home for Unwanted Girls meets The Dollhouse in this atmospheric, heartwarming story that explores not only the historical House of Mercy, but the lives—and secrets—of the girls who stayed there.
