Movie please?

I can't remember the name of the movie but it's set around the end of World War 1 and the main character is a girl whose father died in the war and she is sent to a orphanage or something like that treats her badly but to handle it she recants stories she learned during her stay in India and tells them to either another black orphan or servant girl.

I know the ending but don't want to spoil it for people that might find this interesting but it has to do with the next door neighbor.

Does anyone know the movie?
Thanks in advance.

Yes, that is it.
Thank you JESS.
