Oh, how I love Regency-set books! And Julie Klassen’s stories are some of the best. The Tutor’s Daughter is no exception. Set on the dangerous Cornwall coast, in a manor house high on the cliffs, the tutor and his daughter find themselves in a house filled with secrets and strange happenings.
This story is a lovely mix of Jane Austenish characters with that gothic feel of the Bronte sisters thrown in. I also felt a hint of two more modern movies, but don’t want to mention them for fear of spoiling some of the story twists! It was a book that I hated setting down for even a moment–and one that stirred a desire to place yet another part of England on my travel wish list. If you enjoy all things British and historical, I think you’ll find The Tutor’s Daughter as captivating of a read as I did!
I’ve been hearing so much about this book and have been wanting to read it. Sounds like I’ll have to add this to my already-far-too-long to-be-read pile!

I know what you mean–but I always make room for Julie’s new books at the top of that mountain. They are that good. 🙂
Ooh, this is one I can’t wait to read!!
It’ sooo good! One of those I wanted to race to the end to see what happened but yet wanted to slow down so I didn’t have to reach the last page!
This book sounds interesting! When I find time, I’ll try to read it. I have so many books I want to read, but I don’t have enough time. :'(
I completely understand! In fact, I just finished writing a blog post abou that. Look for it next week. 😉
Or actually, tomorrow! 🙂
I liked your post of “Too Many Books, Too Little Time”! 😀
This book is on my Wish List. Julie is an amazing writer.
Yes, she is!
