About this listen

RITA finalist Julie Klassen has earned numerous awards for her popular historical romance novels. In The Maid of Fairbourne Hall, pampered Margaret Macy flees her home in London to avoid marrying a dishonorable man. Now, with no money and no place to stay, Margaret does the unthinkable: she takes a job as a housemaid in the home of two brothers - both of whom are former suitors. As an “invisible” observer, Margaret realizes she may have misjudged one brother and wonders if it’s too late to win his admiration.

Good story well narrated. Could not stop listening

I liked the full book I could not stop listening. It was nicely paced and I felt I got to know the characters in full.

Historical references.

Anti slave awakening. Slaves fighting back. Twists and turns, references to 'working in service', how difficult it was to travel small distances, clothing details.

Period drama

An easy listen although a little slow .
I must admit the basis of the plot was unique but the telling was a somewhat “Mills&Boon” at times.
Overall I enjoyed it but found I had slept through a couple of chapters several times. I did go back and pick up from where I last left off.
Not a stimulating read but not bad.

Lovely romantic story

I liked the narration. I did speed her voice up a little but I do this with most stories. The book is a predictable love story that I enjoyed, as I was looking for a story that was light and a pleasure to listen to

The clever descriptions between personalities and class

This story transported me into so many lives - some idle, some busy - in fact I would choose to live below stairs !!

Good storyline

I kept getting thrown out of the story without consistency for the characters accents, they kept changing midway through conversations until everyone sounded Irish. I enjoyed the book otherwise though, and it kept me entertained.

Thoroughly enjoyable

This tale of the spoiled Miss Macey's journey to kind, wise and humble woman is an enjoyable story. There is also a love story part of the plot that gives you a warm, fuzzy feeling. The insights she and so we also, as readers, gain into the powerlessness of women, life of the poor, the hardwork and devotion of servants is so interesting, it's like being able to step back in time. I'll be checking out more from this author.
