Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This novel follows Janet Summerhayes as she embarks on her first role as a governess. Arriving at the Harwood residence in St. John's Wood, Janet finds herself within the bosom of a comfortable, generous family, a far cry from the grim life of servitude she had both expected and prepared for. As she navigates her new role and the unfamiliar territory of adolescence alongside her pupil Julia, Janet uncovers truths about herself and the social dynamics that surround her. The author explores the complexities of Victorian family life, in all its kindnesses and cruelties, through a young woman discovering her place. Thoughtful and engaging, this book will appeal to readers interested in governess narratives and the changing social landscape of 19th-century England.
