The details about the Slave Trade and situation in Barbados were also interesting for background. This one had an interesting premise, and although some people found the details boring, I liked the parts about the day to day life of servants and thier roles.

' I'm already a fan of Julie Klassen, but I am trying to get through some of her early books (The Tutor's Dauughter was the first one I read, and then the ones after it). Overall Performance: Narration Rating: Story Rating:.

I don't know what I'm going to do until Klassen's next book comes out!' Each person feels real and alive, and despite the implausibility of the plot, Klassen's characterizations make the reader believe in it. I was sad at the end of the story because I knew I wouldn't be spending time anymore with Nathaniel, Margaret, Betty, Helen, and the rest. But her real talent lies in creating characters that the reader comes to care about. Klassen writes thoroughly compelling historical romances that are far more than that label could explain. Margaret, Nora in her new position, just has to stay incognito for three months to claim her fortune, but her stepfather is taking extreme steps to find her. Nathaniel has returned from his time in Barbados a changed man, but he still can't get Margaret off his mind. Through a series of errors, she finds herself employed as a housemaid at the home of Nathaniel Upchurch, the man whose heart she broke years ago when she turned down his marriage proposal. She is determined to escape his influence and flees the house dressed as a maid. That date is only three months away, and the stepfather is applying pressure to his nephew to compromise Margaret, forcing a marriage between them and allowing him access to the funds. Margaret Macy is a spoiled young woman in Regency England until her mother marries a man who is determined to get his hands on the inheritance Margaret will receive on her twenty-fifth birthday. 'The Maid of Fairbourne Hall by Julie Klassen is another stellar historical romance in the author's quiver. As an ''invisible'' observer, Margaret realizes she may have misjudged one brother and wonders if it's too late to win his admiration. Now, with no money and no place to stay, Margaret does the unthinkable: she takes a job as a housemaid in the home of two brothers- both of whom are former suitors. In The Maid of Fairbourne Hall, pampered Margaret Macy flees her home in London to avoid marrying a dishonorable man. RITA finalist Julie Klassen has earned numerous awards for her popular historical romance novels.
