![]() ![]() ![]() I lost myself in the pages and could easily picture myself walking the hallways of Brightwell Court with the characters. The Silent Governess is a tale filled with secrets and a story that demonstrates that we can never leave our past completely behind. Lord Bradley forces Miss Keene into service in the nursery where he can keep an eye on her, but he becomes increasingly interested in Miss Keene and wonders about the secret she is hiding as well. After difficult circumstances force her to flee her home, she finds herself in even more danger when she overhears the secret of Lord Bradley, the heir of Brightwell Court. The Silent Governess is the story of Miss Olivia Keene, a young lady who dreams of operating her own school for girls. After immensely enjoying her first two books, I jumped at the chance to read The Silent Governess, Julie Klassen’s latest work. ![]() ![]() Then, I read The Apothecary’s Daughter and reviewed it at 5 Minutes for Books. I heard about her first book, The Lady of Milkweed Manor, when Jennifer reviewed it at 5 Minutes for Mom. Julie Klassen is quickly becoming one of my favorite Regency authors. Since that time, I enjoy an occasional visit to Jane’s England by rereading her works or through new fiction set in the Regency Period. In 2007, I set out to read all of Jane Austen’s novels, and by sometime in 2008, I finished. ![]()
