Caricatured by Charles Dickens in Little Dorrit as a cantankerous maid, "Tattycoram" tells her own life story in this utterly compelling metafiction. Abandoned as a baby in a Foundling Hospital and cared for by a kindly foster mother until the age of 5, the young Hattie is hired as a housemaid by Victorian novelist Charles Dickens. Although Hattie escapes to care for her dying foster mother in the country, she is later swept back under the famous author's sphere of observation as a teacher. She must confront her benefactor about his shameless misrepresentation of her character in his latest novel. Audrey Thomas is the author of many highly acclaimed novels and won the Ethel Wilson Award three times. Literary Fiction, Metafiction, Historical Fiction, Canadian Author
