A Lady's Maid by Jen Geigle Johnson

Very interesting story set in London 1831. Depicts the struggle after Peterloo of the people who were trying to get the vote for poor people and also include women. Fully developed characters let you see into the lives of the Ton and their servants. These main characters are of the best, show how each individual's contributions are important to the whole, and the courage it takes to continue when what you see doesn't look like you're doing any good yet you press on. It shines a light on the things that go on through evil but are out of sight. And that love can grow through adversity.

A Pursuit Of Home by Kristi Ann Hunter

1800s Do you like mysteries? This will keep you on your toes. Jess is a girl to be liked, admired and in awe of. An interesting world of intrigue with just the right mix of servants, high society, intelligence and sweet personalities. A royal family runs from Napoleon's henchmen in this French country. Even though they are exiled, their family stories are repeated to them, and Jess is given some key information to keep safe and later rebuild their kingdom. In the meantime as she is in hiding she becomes a spy and master of disguises in England. Derek has been brought in to the Manor to access and catalog artwork. He has special knowledge that Jess needs to unravel an encrypted diary of her Grandmother's. And save a monarchy. A story that is richly told right to the end, and is a wonderful continuation of the Haven Manor series. It's great to revisit these characters and see Jess's long awaited story unfold. A fabulous way to spend time. Fabulous author. This one's a keeper.
