I received this book in exchange for a fair and honest review.
The Daughter of Highland Hall by Carrie Turansky
Edwardian Brides #2
ISBN: 9781601424983
Synopsis: What if the title, the estate, the life of security and splendor . . . what if it isn't enough?
Strong-willed and beautiful, debutante Katherine Ramsey feels ready to take the London social season by storm, and she must. Her family estate, Highland Hall, has been passed to older male cousin Sir William Ramsey, and her only means of securing her future is to make a strong debut and find a proper husband. With her all-knowing and meddling aunt as a guide, Katherine is certain to attract suitors at the lavish gatherings, sparkling with Great Britain's elite.
When a shocking family scandal sidelines Katherine, forcing her out of the social spotlight, she keeps a low profile, volunteering with the poor in London's East End. Here Katherine feels free from her predictable future, and even more so as a friendship with medical student Jonathan Foster deepens and her faith in God grows. But when Katherine is courted anew by a man of wealth and position, dreams of the life she always thought she wanted surface again. Torn between tradition and the stirrings in her heart for a different path, she must decide whom she can trust and love---and if she will choose a life serving others over one where she is served.
My review: This book was every bit as good as the first one. I love that this series reminds me of Downton Abbey. Carrie has such a good writing style that makes the book just flow. To me this book was so good that I read it in one weekend. The research that Carrie does shows well in her writing. You can picture yourself right along side Katherine as she is going through the social season. I am looking forward to reading book three next year and to see where Carrie takes us next.
