Narration In Pursuance Of Books Lady of Milkweed Manor
As Charlotte drew closer to the looming grey edifice that was to become her temporary home, she could not help but notice the secretive shuttered windows. Then she noticed the milkweeds...Even a proper vicar's daughter can make a mistake...and now Charlotte Lamb must pay a high price for her fall. To avoid the prying eyes of all who know her, she hides herself away in London's forbidding "Milkweed Manor," a place of mystery and lore, of old secrets and new birth.
But once there, she comes face-to-face with a suitor from her past—a man who now hides secrets of his own. Both are determined, with God's help, to protect those they love. But neither can imagine the depth of sacrifice that will be required.
Sprinkled with fascinating details about the lives of women in Regency England, Lady of Milkweed Manor is a moving romantic drama about the redemption of past failings and the beauty of sacrificial love.

I think I have a new favorite author...I'm more than halfway through her published books and haven't found a dud yet. This one was so interesting and unusual and well written that I stayed up way late (3 am) to read the whole thing in one sitting. One of the best things about Klassen's books (other than the excellent stories, characters, and writing) is the romance. It isn't all touchy-feely-overmuch-desire-y. The characters act like grown-ups and figure out how to communicate with each other inLady of Milkweed Manor was very informative, well-written, and seemingly well researched. I love to read a book where the author knows exactly what everything was like in the time she/he is writing about.It was also a very bittersweet story, filled with twists and turns, happiness and agony, mistakes and good deeds.Julie Klassen weaves an amazing story in Lady of Milkweed Manor- not the everyday book. I absolutely recommend it.
Klassen's writing is always masterful. This book is about a girl who gets pregnant out of wedlock and has to go to a home for unwed mothers. There are details about pregnancy and nursing that some people might not like, however, having grown up with a mother who nursed and being very involved with my little siblings when mom was pregnant, I didn't find any of it offensive at all.So why only three stars? Honestly, it was just sad. While it had a happy ending, there was a lot of sadness all
I probably was never going to really like this book, because I've never been fond of the disgraced woman plot device, I don't really know why. However, I didn't just not like this book, I really disliked this book.My 2 biggest complaints about this book are:1. Detail - ok, not overly detailed, but it felt like there were a lot more details about a lot of things I didn't want/care to know about. The author went rather in depth in several rather personal things, such as child birth and hospitals
Interesting to learn about the practice of being a wet nurse and how they were viewed. I find it very refreshing to read a book where the main character has a faith in God in which they take comfort, pray, have prayers answered in small ways, but yet the reader is not hit over the head repeatedly with the concept. It speaks a lot more to me and my level of faith than similar books where all problems are solved once the right amount of praying is done. At one point, a character even says that it
Klassen writes beautifully, but after having loved The Apothecary's Daughter so much, I have been disappointed in the quality of her other stories. They all seem to have the same theme: a girl has been wronged by a man before the story begins, and the book tells the tale of her trying to rebuild her life and seek forgiveness. Yet it's not the theme itself that is a problem for this book - there have been many great novels based upon it - just that it's not presented with the depth that it
