Julie Klassen has written another page turner! The Maid of Fairbourne Hall is an excellent story from start to finish. This historical book takes readers inside the very interesting “belowstairs” world of a 19th-century English manor. The reader gets a front row seat to what was expected of and how servants were treated in and around 1815. Margaret Macy is a well to do young woman who goes through a spiritual transformation during the course of the story. Without giving the plot away totally, Margaret has to flee London and ends up working as a housemaid. She has never really looked at servants before, never gave them much thought as to their feelings. Margaret learns a lot while working as a housemaid, from how to actually clean to looking past peoples appearances to the real person underneath. I love all things English and Julie Klassen didn’t disappoint. The history and detail were beautifully done and well researched. The well plotted love story was clean, breathtaking and beautiful. Without a doubt I would recommend this book.
