Quite a story. Amazing, Inspirational, Honest, RAW Emotions, Painful Tragedy and a very subtle romance. An Irish governess takes a post with an English Earl who is guardian to his late sister’s two young boys. I admire the governess. She is a wonderful person. Down-to-earth, honest, creative, unique, unconventional and has no fear to speak her mind. She is full of wisdom, loves God but does not lord her religious feelings over anyone. She is kind and has so much love to offer these two sweet orphaned boys. The eldest boy only ten had the hardest time getting over the death of his beloved parents. It was astonishing the way she encouraged the Earl to deal with the situation. The Earl is a good man. I was impressed how he dealt with the death of his twin sister. He would write her letters as if she was alive pouring his soul out to her and telling her he missed her and keeping her up to date with what was happening. It was jarring to him when the governess told him off. He had to take a step back and think about what she said and realized she was correct about him. He was confident enough to make a change and he did. Overtime the governess started having deep feelings for the Earl but she was a commoner and did not have anything to offer. She was a little rough around the edges but was well liked for her sincerity among the staff. The Earl pondered on all her attributes and was not sure how to move forward. Then a friend of the governess came to stay at the estate and everything started going sideways. An excellent read. I highly recommend it.
This is my first Aria Norton novel and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It’s well-written with a great storyline. The characters are rich and I became emotionally attached to them. There are a few underlying important life lessons within the story. With many bittersweet moments, it tenderly relates the trauma for two children who just lost their parents, and now live with their uncle. He’s hired a loving, free-spirited governess who doesn’t quite fit in with proper English society. I highly recommend this book.
On a personal note, I’m sad that the author has opted to join others in the practice of manipulating readers into giving their email address to read the entire story. Author, saying the epilogue isn’t part of the story but is a “gift” is an insult to us and an embarrassment to you. Maybe take a hint from Molly and be honest rather than manipulative like Katey. It ruined it for me.
This is a well written story with a fairy tale ending. Of course, the Earl is fascinated by Molly, because of her unconventional methods of teaching. Her ways have brought his wards out of their grief and she seems to have done the same thing for him. The story has modern day PC attributes that would not be attributed to in the 1800’s. The Irish were reviled by English and Americans alike.The nobility at that time would have never accepted her. She would forever remain in the country with his children. He would probably be removed from the House of the Lords if he was a member. The story is well written, except for the modern attitudes that the story incorporates.
