pickAs a Pittsburgher, this was a delight. As a reader, this was a delight. Clara is fierce and independent, intelligent, and loyal. What a character and story Marie Benedict has woven here. #carnegiesmaid #mariebenedict
Mondays are such a slog. Coworkers are on vacation or otherwise out of the building, which means I‘m basically by myself today and people don‘t seem to realize that while I‘m adorable and have kickass lipstick on, I am not in possession of magical powers so that I can take care of more than one person at a time. Luckily, I have good books (and my adorable Ulla) to occupy me in rare moments of not-busy-ness. #carnegiesmaid #mariebenedict
I was such a hot mess this morning that I ran out of my house without bringing the book I‘ve been reading, but luckily, I have my pick of plenty here at work. So, this has been added to the list, and this is today‘s pursuit. #carnegiesmaid #mariebenedict
pick“Carnegie‘s Maid” by Marie Benedict 🌟🌟🌟🌟(4/5 stars) Poignant piece of historical fiction! This novel follows Clara, an immigrant from Ireland, as she gains employment in the Carnegie household during the mid 1860‘s. Clara brings awareness of the plights of immigrants and the marginalized. This piece of fiction is wonderfully written and developed. I found it timely and insightful as well as entertaining. #💜themrs
