I feel like Klassen brings a more realistic-look at how life really was in her historical fiction. When I had just about decided I knew what had happened/what would happen, Klassen threw in another twist and I’d invariably shout ‘what?’. But as he watches her, he is drawn more and more to the mysterious Miss Keene, despite the danger she represents. Lord Bradley is sure she’s hiding something, something other than his secret that if told, would destroy his entire life. Forcibly engaged at Brightwell Court as a nursery maid, Olivia is relieved to be well hidden but is also anxious at that fact. But when she accidentally overhears Lord Bradley’s secret – her flight is stopped and he has to decide what to do with her. Olivia Keene flees home, believing she has committed a terrible crime. I think this book has made it to my top-10 list. WHY IN THE WORLD DID I WAIT SO LONG? (groanofagonyandfrustrationatmyself) I was quickly drawn in to the story and was so sad when my OH was ready to leave! I regretfully put it back on the shelf, and it only took me two years to get it from the library!
Intrigued, I pulled it from the shelf and started reading in one of the cozy chairs. One day, while wandering aimlessly through Barnes and Noble, I stumbled upon The Silent Governess by Julie Klassen.
