- I was very
excited to receive my first book from "Blogging for Books”. I
received "The Governess of Highland" by Carrie Turnansky. I had
never read anything from this author so I was excited to start on
it. The
book takes place in England in 1911. I knew right away I would enjoy this
book because of the setting and time period. When I first began the book I felt like
it had a Jane Eyre kind of feel to it. Since it being centered around the
life of a governess, I thinks that’s why I got that feeling. I have read
my share of books centered on life of a governess. I was just hoping this
one would be different. As the book
progressed It kept reminding me of Downton Abbey. I thinking it’s because
it actually told the story of the servants of the house. Also the time
period is similar to Downton Abbey. Overall it
was a very enjoyable book to read, although it was predictable. Sometimes I do enjoy predictable books
but other times I do. But this one didn’t really bother me as much. If you
like Jane Eyre or Downton Abbey I think you will enjoy this book. I did
really like it and rate it 3 out of 4 stars.
