Book Review: The Silent Governess by Julie Klassen


The Silent Governess


This is my first book to read by author Julie Klassen and it will not be my last!! The author has a great way of writing that helps you get into the story and not want to put the book down.

The main character, Olivia Keene, runs away from home fearing that she has committed a terrible crime. As she is fleeing, she comes upon a large estate where a celebration is going on. As she is looking in on the celebration, the overhears a secret. This secret begins an interesting twist in her life. She is forced to become employed on the staff of Lord Bradley's estate and keep the secret she overheard. This also helps her keep her own secret. She eventually becomes the governess to the children. This book has so many twists and secrets that you will not want to put it down. The ending was definitely a surprise. I don't want to spoil the ending or give you any hints. You'll need to read the book for yourself. I know you will find it as interesting as I did. A bonus with the book is discussion questions which would be great for book clubs.





This book was sent to me by Bethany House Publishers as part of their book review blogger program. I received a free copy of this book to review.
