Book Review

The Silent Governess

Julie Klassen

Forced to leave her home with a secret, Olivia Keene eventually finds herself at the charge of Lord Bradley, who employs her as an under-nurse for his dear niece and nephew.

Lord Bradley has a few secrets of his own and not wanting Olivia to share those secrets he gives her little choice than to become an under-nurse. Lord Bradley believes he is safe for now since Olivia has injured her throat and cannot speak. Will either of their secrets get out? Will they come to an understanding?

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. When I picked it up to read it I had a hard time putting it down. Klassen did a wonderful job developing the characters as well as the plot. She took me back into the 19th century and to the happenings at Brightwell Court.

I would recommend this book to anyone. It was a great read and a fun read! I look forward to reading more books from Julie Klassen.

I received a free copy of this book from Bethany House Publishers for the purpose of reviewing.
