Book Review of The Girl in the Gatehouse

The Girl in the Gatehouse
reviewed on
Helpful Score: 1


Every book Klassen writes gets better and better! Her writing style is very much along the lines of Jane Austen. In this particular book she combines Jane Austens Persuasion with a touch Mansfield Park. The main character Mariah has been sent to live with her companion in an old abandoned Gatehouse on her aunts estate. There she meets many unique and interesting people including the gallant Captain Matthew Bryant who is renting out her recently deceased Aunts estate. The Captain is drawn to her but does not know why. Why does the "lady" in the gatehouse hide away from society? What is her secret?


This book is worth reading!
