It is the 1880s and Mary Wakefield has been hired in London to travel to Canada to become the governess of two children. She doesn’t have any experience, but Ernest Whiteoak, who hired her, was in a hurry as the woman that had been hired for the job had broken both her legs and could not travel to Canada. Mary looked upon this as a great adventure and she fell in love with the beautiful Ontario estate of Jalna when she arrived. She also fell in love with the children’s father and Mary and Philip enjoyed a couple of months before his mother returned from England, bringing Philip’s two brothers and his sister for an extended visit. She immediately sussed out the situation and did her best to intervene between Philip and Mary.
Although I found this book a little over the top in regards to emotions, it was a light, entertaining read that provided me with a giggle or two as the dowager Adeline plotted against the romance. I have the next few book in the vintage series and will definitely be continuing to read about the Whiteoak family. ( )
