The Star of Kazan by Eva Ibbotson
The main character is called Annika and she is an orphan found by a young cook called Ellie while she is on a walk with her fellow housemaid, Sigrid, who works for the same professors as Ellie. When she is older a woman comes to their house and claims she is the mother of the girl, but things don't turn out as well as expected.
