THE SILENT GOVERNESS is a unique story.
Olivia Keene is on the run when she is afraid she’s killed her father. When she stumbles across Edward Bradley’s secret, she finds herself in quite a predicament. She has no intentions of telling Edward’s secret, but with his future on the line, he’s not ready to take her word for it. When Olivia encounters an unfortunate accident which takes her voice away, Edward decides to hire Olivia as a governess for his young niece and nephews, keeping her close by so she cannot divulge his secret.
Though Edward distrusts Olivia, he is drawn to her. And though Olivia knows her station in life is far below Edward’s she images what life could be like with him.
Throughout THE SILENT GOVERNESS many family secrets in both Olivia’s and Edward’s family are exposed. Their family ties are more closely entwined then they could’ve every imagined leaving them both to wonder if they will ever see their way through the obstacles that stand before them.
Like I said, THE SILENT GOVERNESS is quite a unique story. There are many twists and turns as secrets continue to be unearthed. I liked the many characters that colored this story, though I feel some could’ve been developed a little more than they were. A satisfying story with a good conclusion, I would recommend this to those who enjoy the regency era or those looking for a pleasant change of pace.
