The Home Child : a novel in verse / Liz Berry. by Berry, Liz, 1980- Chatto & Windus, 2023. Call #: FICTION BER Subjects Showell, Eliza -- Fiction.   Child agricultural laborers -- Fiction.   Nova Scotia -- History -- 20th century -- Fiction.   Cape Breton Island (N.S.) -- History -- 20th century -- Fiction. ISBN:  9781784742683 (hc.) Description:  115 p. : ill. ; 21 cm. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references. Summary:  "In 1908, Eliza Showell, twelve years old and newly orphaned, boards a ship that will carry her from the slums of the Black Country to rural Nova Scotia. She will never return to Britain or see her family again. She is a Home Child, one of thousands of British children sent to Canada to work as indentured farm labourers and domestic servants. In Nova Scotia, Eliza's world becomes a place where ordinary things are transfigured into treasures -- a red ribbon, the feel of a foal's mane, the sound of her name on someone else's lips. With nothing to call her own, the wild beauty of Cape Breton is the only solace Eliza has -- until another Home Child, a boy, comes to the farm and changes everything. Inspired by the true story of Liz Berry's great aunt, this spellbinding novel in verse is an exquisite portrait of a girl far from home."--Publisher. Genre:  Historical fiction. Biographical fiction.
