In 1854, Charlotte Bronte wrote two chapters of her new novel Emma, but she did not have the chance to finish it - on March 31, 1855, she died of premature birth. Many years later, Claire Boylen, an Irish writer and journalist, completed the novel, rewarding it with a complex and intricate plot telling about the fate of the girl Emma, who has to survive on the streets of Victorian London. Debauchery, poverty, child prostitution, cowardice are the main themes of the novel. Before sitting down to write the continuation of the novel, Claire Boylen, in her own words, studied a lot of literature about the Victorian period in England, including about the life of the poor on the streets of London, visited in the Bronte Characters Museum and had conversations with many researchers of the work of the Bronte family. A girl named Emma Brown does not remember her past and is trying to find her mother. She has to experience all the horrors of poverty and homeless life on the streets of London, working hard to earn food. During her wanderings, she meets a younger girl named Jenny Drew. Together with her, they are looking for shelter, and one day they wander into the World Exhibition in Hyde Park, where Emma sees her images hung throughout the Crystal Palace building, under which it is signed that she is wanted. Jenny thinks that she has gone to heaven, because she has never seen such beautiful and rich people, she has never eaten such delicious things that were sold here. Such an Exhibition took place in reality - the Great Exhibition of the Industrial Works of All Nations, and was held in London's Hyde Park from May 1 to October 15, 1851, it became a milestone in the history of the Industrial Revolution. In the end, Emma's memory returns thanks to the care of her foster mother, Isabel Chalfont. It turns out that Emma Brown is the daughter of a decent woman, whose child was stolen and sold on the street for next to nothing.
