Relation To Books The Shadow Hour

Nineteen twenty-two. Grace has been sent to the stately and crumbling Fenix House to follow in her grandmother's footsteps as a governess. But when she meets the house's inhabitants, people who she had only previously heard of in stories, the cracks in her grandmother's tale begin to show. Secrets appear to live in the house's very walls and everybody is resolutely protecting their own.

Why has she been sent here? Why did her grandmother leave after just one summer? And as the past collides with the present, can Grace unravel these secrets and discover who her grandmother, and who she, really is?

Column Out Of Books The Shadow Hour

Absorbed this book through an audio file. Through a very confusing and long-dragged beginning it ended up to be better and better. In the end I was absolutely intrigued and couldn't stop listening to it. With an end that made tears leak out of my eyes it was an absolute success for the beginning of my 2018 reading year.

I really enjoyed this historical drama which is told in two timelines with Fenix House near Cheltenham at its centre. In 1922 Grace joins the household as Governess to Lukas, the son of David Pemberton. What the Pembertons do not know is that fifty years earlier, Graces grandmother Harriet was also Governess for a short while there, albeit a time that had a huge impact on the family and Harriet herself. The read unfolds from both perspectives to reveal a story of fated romances, drama, intrigue

Found the quite boring. Was a hard push to finish.

The year is 1922 when Grace Fairford leaves the comfort of the home she has known in Bristol with her grandmother, to begin her life as a governess at Fenix House. It is a place she knows well, having grown up on stories of her own grandmother's time there in 1878, also as a governess. Yet the Fenix House that awaits Grace is a far cry from the immaculately kept estate of her grandmother's stories, sadly fallen into a state of neglect and disarray. There are other anomalies too though, facts

I guess I can't say I "read" it because I skip-read almost all book, but I will still mark it as "not-finished". So, DNF could is still raining on me.I think it's more family drama than creepy suspense Gothic tale that I expected and wanted to read. Wanted to have some fun with Rebecca and Jane Eyre, but got this "Oh, the stairs are creaking, there must be millions of ghosts in here!" idea all over the place. Sometimes old house, it just old house, ladies O_O. Also, disliked how two timelines

I wanted to like this. I loved the cover. Its a Gothic mystery, which I normally enjoy, but somehow this one was a struggle. Not sure whether it was too long (it is 500+ pages and probably could do with some further editing), or whether I was comparing it unfavourably with The Distant Hours by Kate Morton which it was similar to in some respects, or whether it was just wrong book/wrong time, but it just wasnt doing it for me. It was eye-rollingly predictable at times, however it did improve a

I'm not going to lie but it took my quite a while to get into due to the fact it was a confusing book. I loved how it kept flicking back to the past and present but at the same time it was difficult to keep track . I can't really do a full review about this book , even though i completed it and end up enjoying it , it's still a difficult book to further explain.
