Summary: Lady of Milkweed Manor by Julie Klassen
As Charlotte drew closer to the looming grey edifice that was to become her temporary home, she could not help but notice the secretive shuttered windows. Then she noticed the milkweeds...
Even a proper vicar's daughter can make a mistake...and now Charlotte Lamb must pay a high price for her fall. To avoid the prying eyes of all who know her, she hides herself away in London's forbidding "Milkweed Manor," a place of mystery and lore, of old secrets and new birth.
But once there, she comes face-to-face with a suitor from her past—a man who now hides secrets of his own. Both are determined, with God's help, to protect those they love. But neither can imagine the depth of sacrifice that will be required.
Sprinkled with fascinating details about the lives of women in Regency England, Lady of Milkweed Manor is a moving romantic drama about the redemption of past failings and the beauty of sacrificial love.
Book Review: Lady of Milkweed Manor
Charlotte Lamb, a vicar’s daughter, has made a mistake which has taken her to this hideaway for expectant mothers so both her family and herself may be protected from condemnation and gossip in the local community.
I really enjoyed this glimpse into the lives of vulnerable women in Edwardian England. How out of wedlock pregnancies were dealt with which made a place like Milkweed Manor necessary.Even though there is a serious issue being dealt with here, I feel like Klassen still manages to make this work a fascinating read with all the staple ingredients we expect to find when reading her work.
I highly recommend this read to anyone who enjoys historical romance fiction and fans of Julie Klassen’s work. All opinions in this review are completely my own.
My rating: 5 stars /5
