pick#14books14weeks 3 weeks already !Taylor‘s 2nd, hints of her later style.shades of Jane Eyre as Cassandra is to become governess to a child whose mother died in childbirth with a father still living with his sadness and letting his estate decline around him. The characters are well drawn , a gothic feel, with a plot twist that makes perfect sense yet came as a shock.I picked thin volumes in hopes I can fulfill this challenge.😁
One of the best things in life! When you go to a bookstore you shopped years ago ..before you moved away...still the same owner, still the same carefully curated selection of wonderful books! Chopin‘s 1st book ,#virago , and a Grace Lumpkin !😻😻📚📚
Happy dance!
Up next in my chronological reading of Taylor‘s novels and this one is an homage/rewriting of Jane Eyre. Yes, please! 💜💙

so-soTaylor is one of my favorite authors, so it pains me to say that I struggled to finish this. Cassandra is orphaned at the age of 19. She decides to be a governess, and her romantic ideas get the best of her when she decides that like Jane Eyre, she will fall in love with her widowed employer. But the house is dilapidated, the servants opinionated, and the residents super secretive. Very dark, with hints of DuMaurier‘s Rebecca. ⭐️⭐️
