Claudia Thomas is a modern woman in the 1880s; educated and experiencing life in Europe, while postponing marriage to her fiancé Robert. While in Germany, she befriends Jeanette, the widowed nanny of a wealthy family, a friendship that crosses the boundary of social classes. From this friendship blooms a deeper relationship. When life happens and time passes, this love is never far from their minds. Kathryn Ewers Bundy has spun a tail that is romantic, painful, enchanting and haunting. The endearing quiet charms of Jeanette and the charismatic individuality of Claudia are the building blocks of this well crafted novel. From the first word to the last, I was captivated by the story of these two women. Reminiscent of Sarah Waters’ style. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
At the dawn of the Twentieth Century, the world is changing for women. More girls of a certain class are being educated and able to make their own living. When Claudia Thomas graduates from the newly formed Burnham College for Women, Class of 1880, she is not ready to trade the life of the mind for a husband and a house in town. She chooses to further her studies in Germany, to buy time before she meets her family's expectation of marriage and children. Her plans are interrupted when she meets Jeanette Taynor, walking in the park. Mrs. Taynor is a young widow, employed as nanny in the home of a rich businessman. Despite their differences in class and education, their lives intersect and intertwine, blossoming into a love that will not be broken. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

Despite my slight (and it is but very slight) disappointment of the vaguely lackluster ending, I would recommend it and I would certainly read it again. ( )
