Set
in England in 1811, this is the story of Delia Greythorne and the
children for whom she cared. Each of them has experienced great hurt
and loss in their lives which has forged a bond between them. Now
once again their lives are in a state of upheaval as they are forced
to move to a new home with the children's uncle whom they don't
really know. Jac Twethewey is a bachelor living in a large house on
an estate that he is desperately trying to keep afloat. He was
totally unprepared for the arrival of his nieces and nephew, let
alone their beautiful governess and taciturn tutor. Finally, as
everyone is beginning to settle into their situation, it seems as if
Mrs. Greystone's past has returned to haunt them all.
The Governess of
Penwythe Hall has it all:
historical elements, romance, a mysterious past, and intrigue. This
one well definitely keep you up long into the night. While some of
the story structure follows along the lines of what one would expect
in a historical romance, Ladd has included plenty of surprises and
suspense to hold her readers' interest.
I
was happy to have received a complimentary coy of this book from
Thomas Nelson through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review
are completely my own.
