When Millie Forester's mother abandons her one late June afternoon in 1854, the girl bursts unexpectedly into Aggie Winkowski's life. Aggie, known locally as 'Raggie Aggie' for her long-established business of trading rags and old clothes, knows the dangers waiting for such a strikingly pretty girl left alone in this rough and vice-ridden quarter, and sees no other option but to take her in. But what begins as a compassionate solution soon leads to the development of a new, deepening relationship that is to mould Millie's destiny, and give new meaning to the lift of Aggie Winkowski. "The Rag Nymph" is a gripping historical novel, embracing the good and evil of the Victorian era.
I love this book fpr some reason every bit of this story sticks in my mind clear as a bell. It really affected me. I loved it ! The little orphan girl taken in by the rag woman.....
