Representaion Toward Books Lady of Milkweed Manor

As Charlotte drew closer to the looming grey edifice that was to become her temporary home, she could not help but notice the secretive shuttered windows. Then she noticed the milkweeds...

Even a proper vicar's daughter can make a mistake...and now Charlotte Lamb must pay a high price for her fall. To avoid the prying eyes of all who know her, she hides herself away in London's forbidding "Milkweed Manor," a place of mystery and lore, of old secrets and new birth.

But once there, she comes face-to-face with a suitor from her past—a man who now hides secrets of his own. Both are determined, with God's help, to protect those they love. But neither can imagine the depth of sacrifice that will be required.

Sprinkled with fascinating details about the lives of women in Regency England, Lady of Milkweed Manor is a moving romantic drama about the redemption of past failings and the beauty of sacrificial love.

Comment On Containing Books Lady of Milkweed Manor

I enjoyed the historical and medical details along with compelling stories that illustrated how a single choice or moment could alter one's life forever. There were realistic characters that were both likable and detestable. Overall, this was a wonderful story. I cannot wait to read another book by Julie Klassen.

Such a lovely novel. The symbolism of Milkweed and quotes at the beginning of each chapter were fabulous additions. The novel is primarily about Charlotte who has been ostracized from her family. Along her endearing journey we learn about wet nurses, lying in homes, depression during pregnancy and more.There were a few coincidences that seemed a bit unrealistic to me but overall this was a very well done novel. And a debut!

DNF halfway through. Too many inappropriate moments, I finally had enough.

Many authors today, seem to think a historical romance is this stereotypical tale involving another byronic hero, and a good-for-nothing heroine, with hardly any plot, and nothing at the center but the love/hate, or the magically-growing relationship between the protagonists. Its also provoking to see the obvious contrast between the historical setting they choose and the oddly modernized psychology of the characters. Ive read enough of the genre this year to feel tired of this awful depiction

Im totally speechless of how brilliant this book is. It left me with my mouth open, after making me gasp, cheer and almost cry throughout its pages, and makes me want to say to all those writers out there, this is how you write a historical novel. Julie Klassen takes the best from both historical romance and fiction, and blends it together to create these wonderful novels that keep you up at night, needing to know what will happen next. Shes definitely one of the best authors Ive ever read, and

When I first began this novel, I was a little disheartened to think that it might be similar to Klassen's most recent novel, The Girl in the Gatehouse, but I soon found that the similarity was just that, a small similarity. From the novel's beginning, I felt totally pulled into the story. There was such a depth of sacrifice and a tangible quality to the emotion in the story, but none of it was overdone or too dramatic.From what appears to be a setting and a situation that was devoid of hope,
