Having not yet read the "Familiars", Stacey's first book, I am unable to compare the 2, however if "The Foundling" is anything to go by I am sure I will not be disappointed.
Stacey truly has a beautiful writing style that brings the pages to life and draws you in right from the start.
She splits the narrative between two Protagonists, Bess and Alexandra. The former is a headstrong young woman who becomes pregnant at a fairly young age and due to her poor status has to place her daughter in The Foundling Hospital. The latter being a seemingly unstable wealthy Widow, appearing to suffer from Agoraphobia although as the story unfolds I would steer more towards P.T.S.D.
Set in the Georgian era, this is a story of class divides and Motherhood and how Bess' daughter brings the women together.
I highly recommend this to anyone.
