This is a lovely romantic novel with likeable characters and wonderful humour. I found it a real page turner. Having said that, besides the romance there was quite a lot going on and I felt that not all of it was dealt with as fully as it could have been. For example, I thought Sophia’s story could have been explored more, and the ending was a little too conveniently wrapped up. But I really enjoyed the two main characters, how the dynamics between them changed as the story progressed, and I recommend the book as an entertaining sweet romance.

Onderdeel van de reeks(en)
Young Jonathan Clyde causes mischief for everyone at Whitehall, the stately home of his privileged ancestors. As he matures, however, he comes to despise the vanity and conceit surrounding him. Misfortune requires Lydia Smythe, an exceptionally clever farmer's daughter, to seek employment at Whitehall. As a parlor maid, she feels stifled and harried by those over her. Still, she refuses to relinquish her independent mind and spirit. From the moment Jonathan catches Lydia reading the books she is supposed to be dusting, he is intrigued by this unusual servant. Thus begins a clandestine relationship that is simultaneously amusing, confusing and enlightening. Just as it is evolving into something neither of them expected, an unforeseen truth comes to light, and the two wonder if their unconventional bond will be forever lost. Set in England in the mid-eighteen hundreds, A Girl Called Foote is the coming-of-age story of two similarly impressive people leading very different lives."...writing that is clever and witty, with a polish that is unusual in self-published works. The characters inspire empathy, the romance feels pure and true, and the story itself is perfectly paced." --Portland Book Review, four out of five stars Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
