The Tutor's Daughter by Julie Klassen

Emma Smallwood, determined to help her widowed father when his boarding school fails, accompanies him to the cliff-top manor of a baronet and his four sons. But soon after they arrive and begin teaching the two younger boys, mysterious things begin to happen. Who does Emma hear playing the pianoforte at night, only to find the music room empty? And who begins sneaking into her bedchamber, leaving behind strange mementoes? The baronet's older sons, Phillip and Henry Weston, wrestle with problems—and secrets—of their own. They both remember the studious Miss Smallwood from their days at her father's academy. But now one of them finds himself unexpectedly drawn to her.... When suspicious acts escalate, can Emma figure out which brother to blame, and which to trust with her heart? Filled with page-turning suspense, The Tutor's Daughter takes readers to the windswept Cornwall coast—a place infamous for shipwrecks and superstitions—where danger lurks, faith is tested, and romance awaits. I can’t say enough about how beautifully written this novel is! I loved this book! The vivid description of the Cornwall coast in 1812 is so breathtaking that I want to be there, experience this time and place. Character development is excellent, the plot moves along but the reader is not left wondering what’s going on here. Emma Smallwood (so English) is a strong and free thinking young woman who is loyal to family and loves with all her heart. Julie Klassen has yet again created a beautiful piece of art in this inspiring novel! Well worth your time!
