very entertaining
I thoroughly enjoyed this debut novel. I wouldnt usually read this type of book but im very glad that I purchased it. I found it very entertaining all the way through and sniggered at Bessy's bawdy remarks on her observations on her life previously and her new and rather peculiar existence at Castle Haivers. Bessy character is funny and mischievious and she treats her mistress at times with disdain, wonderment and loyalty to the end. Definetly a recommended read!

Absolutely brilliant
It is a long time since I have enjoyed a book this much. The narrative voice is superb; so authentic and engaging. I loved this. It's a great story and a real joy to read. It deserves far more recognition than it has had so far. I cannot understand why anyone would not love this; it's a delight!!

Great fun
This book is a pleasure to read as it is well-written, original and transports us effortlessly into the world of the heroine.It is a story full of surprises, twists and turns.A maid like no other, whose personnality shines out of every page and a mistress who has deep secrets of her own.Really deserving of the praise it got!
