A debut novel set in Victorian England with a delightfully cheeky heroine who will have everyone talking.

Susan Rose is not your average Victorian heroine. She's promiscuous, lovable, plump, and scheming. Luckily for Susan, her big heart is covered by an equally big bosom, and her bosom is her fortune- for Susan becomes a professional wet nurse, like her mother before her, and she makes it her business to know all the intrigues and scandals that the upper crust would prefer to keep to themselves.

When her own child is caught up in a family scandal, Susan must use all of her street smarts to rescue her baby from the powerful mistress of the house. The scheme she weaves is bold and daring, and could spell ruin if she fails-but Susan Rose has no intention of failing.

Reviews for The Wet Nurse's Tale

aI really loved this book. Erica Eisdorfer managed to completely vanish into the voice of her really appealing narratorathe plucky, somewhat randy, always sympathetic, and certainly never boring professional wet nurse, Miss Susan Rose.a<br> aElizabeth Gilbert, author of Eat, Pray, Love
