Mrs England is an accomplished well written historical book. It is focussed in Edwardian times on a Norland Nanny whose main placement is with a Yorkshire mill owner and his wife – the Englands.
At times I felt this book was going to veer off the rails and be a bit triggering – but the author brought it back.
I found out about this book through Carpe Librum – thanks Tracey. She described the book as a slow moving gothic tale – I didn't find it too slow moving and don't quite know what makes a book gothic. But I'm glad I read it.
If you have been the victim of a master manipulator, you may be quite affected by this story – so a warning.
With that review I have to get this one!
