Hilda works as a maid one of the most prestigious mansions in the city, for the Studebakers. As a Swedish immigrant, she is lucky to have such a good job, even though she must work long, hard hours. She keeps company with Patrick, a fireman she is fond of. But even as they are become even closer, they realize that a major obstacle in a lasting relationship is their difference in nationality was well as religion. Hilda is a Swedish Lutheran and Patrick, an Irish Catholic, and their families are against their growing friendship, lest it develop into something more. But when Patrick’s uncle disappears and is a suspect in a murder, Patrick’s aunt wants Hilda to investigate the situation. This third installment in this delightful series continues the story Hilda and her family, working class immigrants in the early twentieth century. Author Jeanne M. Dams has done an excellent job of recreating that time period, with the struggles and prejudices encountered by people new to this country. Be sure to start with the first books in the series – you don’t want to miss the growth and development of the characters as the series progresses. ( ) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Appartiene alle SerieHilda Johansson (3)
Hilda Johansson's relationship with Patrick Malloy satisfies the two of them, but it's creating tensions for the families: She's Swedish and certainly not Catholic; he's Irish and the twain should never twine, at least as far as others are concerned. Even in the servants' quarters of the Studebaker household, questions are raised. Of course, Hilda's propensity for getting involved in things like murder that shouldn't be her business also raises more than a few eyebrows and makes people forget her love life and worry about whether she'll live long enough to have a relationship with Patrick at all.This is one of those times: The coal mine strikes of 1902 seem to be spilling into places that would consider themselves immune to such strife. Now a South Bend politician has been murdered, and Patrick's uncle Dan -- the dead man's main opponent -- has gone missing and become the chief suspect. Feeling that the police are doing little to find another suspect, the Malloys take the outrageous step of asking Hilda to put her talents to use for them...and offering to pay her for her services.
