Do you like Jane Austen’s novels? If you do, you will LOVE Julie Klassen.  This was my first encounter with Julie Klassen’s work, but it will definitely not be my last.  She writes with the setting and style of Austen, but without the language barrier.

The secrets at Brightwell Court – home to Lord Brightwell and his son, Lord Bradley – run deep, and they threaten to tarnish the family name.  But when Olivia Keene stumbles upon one of these secrets, she’s willing to keep quiet for fear that her own secrets might be brought to light.

The Silent Governess is a story that grabs readers from the get-go and doesn’t release them until the end.  Brilliantly written and woven together, the story takes readers back to the early 19th century of England – a time of servants, governesses, Lords and Ladies.  The story is full of mystery and intrigue, love and romance, religion and faith. 

Thanks to Bethany House, a division of Baker Publishing Group, for providing me with a copy of this book to read and review.
