Chronicle 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.

This book went on and on. I kept hanging on for a little more romance or things to turn up, but it was sort of random and went ALL over the place, only to have two pages of happiness at the end. It wasn't terrible, there were parts and things I genuinely enjoyed... but OVERALL it seemed to talk a lot about nursing and physician-related things. I don't have a problem with it (I thought it was sweet) and loved nursing my little son, but if you're not a mother who has nursed, or are not comfortableDNF halfway through. Too many inappropriate moments, I finally had enough.
I never realized that I didn't write a review of this novel. Well, it was fairly good ... but not amazing. It dragged in places and was pretty confusing at points. It was sad, too, and it didn't end "just so." That's not really a problem, per se, but it did lower my enjoyment of the book. I do have a couple content concerns, too.
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 in

Lady 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.
