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?
My thoughts: I have read almost every book by Julie Klassen and I have really liked every single one. If you like historical fiction, it is safe to open a Klassen book knowing that you will enjoy it. That said, I think that this has been my favorite from her by far. I really enjoyed the characters. I wasn't sure at the beginning whether I was going to like Henry or not and didn't know if I was going to root for Emma to end up with Philip or with Henry, but just a little into the book I knew that I would be disappointed if things didn't go well for Henry. I enjoyed watching these characters come to life, even if Emma did seem just a tad over dramatic to me. I loved the sense of mystery that was brought to the table as well- something new in Klassen's bag of tricks. I hope she continues down this path. It was interesting to have a story set in a huge house with proper people revolve around a tutor and his daughter. I loved that the beginning of the book introduces us to some of the things that went on with Henry, Philip and Emma when they were students living at her father's school, so we kind of see how things were in year's prior and see why Emma is not a huge fan of Henry's and is kind of smitten with Philip as a young teenager. It is neat to watch their story unfold as adults. I would highly recommend this book to fans of historical fiction. It's another great novel from Julie Klassen, I am almost bummed I read it so quickly because now I have to wait for her to write something new. I was really pleased overall with The Tutor's Daughter.
