Emma brown

"emma brown is the story of a young girl, matilda, brought by her father to a small girls' school in provincial england. the school, fuchsia lodge, is foundering, so its new headmistress is delighted to welcome a new pupil - especially one so elaborately dressed with an apparently rich father who is "quite the gentleman." but when the school term ends and it comes time to make arrangements for the christmas holidays, matilda's tuition goes unpaid, and the headmistress is shocked to find that the identity of the father, conway fitzgibbon - like the address he left behind - is a fiction. before long, it becomes clear that the little heiress herself is not who she seemed.".
