dark mysterious slow-paced
Creepy novella with a bit of a Jane Eyre feel. The ending was less than satisfying for me but the lead up was intriguing for sure.

Me ha encantado. Esta faceta de la autora reconozco que me atrae más. He devorado este libro !!! No podía soltarlo. Tal cual. Me ha tenido super atrapada y estaba comiendome las uñas intrigada por qué pasaría jajaj

La protagonista es todo un personajazo, los demás femeninos están bastante desdibujados, pero bueno. Yo creo que es que la protagonista hace palidecer a todos los demáa personajes, hace que no te importen. Solo quieres que ella consiga lo que quiere.

God, kønsnormbrydende fortælling, men selvom karaktererne handler, reagerer og taler, er de aldrig helt levende.

A.M. Barnard was the pen name for Louisa May Alcott, and, sampling the style that was her bread and butter before she wrote better known classics, I fully appreciate her flare for the dramatic.

Summer reading would be incomplete without a few audio books! BJ Harrison, of Classic Tales Podcast, serves up this sensational story with style and delightful vocal characterization. Eligible man in possession of a fortune: check. Charming governess who is more that she appears: check. English countryside: check!

Earbuds in, I walked miles and painted walls in delight, listening to the adventures of the artful Jean Muir. How would this title fare in a feminist book club? That's what I wonder.

Behind a Mask tells the story of a desperate woman’s wickedness. It brims with suspense, surprises and unending twists and turns. I guarantee it will leave you reeling...

I love this book because of Jean. She is a very interesting character that goes against the typical stereotype of woman. I’m a huge fan of villains in film, movies, games, etc, so seeing Jean manipulate and work her way around these men was amusing. It was like watching a game of chess and only you and Jean knew the outcome.

Would definitely reread and recommend.
