959. Stacey Hills - Mrs England


Not exactly chick-lit, but certainly a girl’s book. About a Norland Nanny, early in the 20th century who is seconded to a family in Yorkshire near Hardcastle Crags, where we holidayed many years ago.

I thought at first shades of Jane Eyre (Hardcastle Crags is just down the hill from Haworth) with the nice and attractive father welcoming the nanny to the house and the very reclusive wife. But the plot just meandered on with little interesting development and the conclusion felt more as if it had exhausted itself than anything more meaningful.
