It should be a dream come true to serve the Queen of England…
About the Book: When Violet Parker is told she
will be Queen Victoria’s personal housemaid, she cannot believe her good
fortune. She finally has the chance to escape her overbearing mother, a servant
to the Duchess of Kent. Violet hopes to explore who she is and what the world
has to offer without her mother’s schemes overshadowing her every thought and
action.
Then she meets James Greene, assistant to the queen’s chief political
adviser, Lord Melbourne. From entirely different backgrounds and social class,
Violet and James should have neither need nor desire to speak to one another,
yet through their service, their paths cross and their lives merge—as do their
feelings.
Victoria’s court is not always the place for romance, but rather
secrets, scandals, and conspiracies…
Our
Review: Rachel Brimble is known for
her lush descriptions of both setting and characters right down to their
innermost hopes, dreams and plans. In Victoria & Violet the author
brings all of that and more for the reader, this time adding an in-depth
portrayal of fears and hesitancies carried by adult survivors of abuse and
neglect. Well done!
