About the book:

To escape a scheme to marry her off to a dishonorable man, Margaret Macy flees London disguised as a housemaid. If she can remain unwed until her next birthday, she will receive an inheritance, and with it, sweet independence. But she never planned on actually working as a servant. And certainly not in the home of Nathaniel and Lewis Upchurch--both former suitors.

As she fumbles through the first real work of her life, Margaret struggles to keep her identity secret when suspicions arise and prying eyes visit Fairbourne Hall. Can she avoid a trap meant to force her from hiding?

I find Julie Klassen's style of writing very easy to read and very enjoyable! Klassen brings the early 1800's to life and transports the reader to London as she uses language fitting to the time period and fills the story with vivid descriptions. Margaret (Nora) is such a lovable character who grows so much throughout the story as she goes from a spoiled wealthy girl to being a maid and she realizes just how much her own maid had done for her and how she should have treated the servants more kindly and thought of them instead of just herself all the time. I also love all three Upchurch siblings, they are so different from each other in their own ways and yet the sibling bond that is between them was so realistic and the elements are their relationships with each other can be easily related to today. Historical fiction fans will not want to miss out on this treasure!
