The Lost Girl

The Lost Girl traces Alvina Houghton, daughter of a failing Midlands draper, as respectability frays around her father’s last theatrical ventures. Among the travelling performers she meets Ciccio, whose presence offers a different life from the parlours of Woodhouse. Lawrence follows her flight towards Italy as a journey of desire, risk, and hard-won selfhood.

This special edition has been created with accessibility in mind. It features a fully adjustable coloured overlay system designed to support readers with Irlen Syndrome, dyslexia, or visual stress. By reducing visual strain and allowing each reader to customise their experience, this edition makes Lawrence’s restless narrative more comfortable and enjoyable to read.

Rediscover the provincial confinement and sensual awakening of The Lost Girl in a format thoughtfully crafted to be more inclusive for all readers.
