Historical Fiction akin to ...Not exactly a romance. Historical Fiction akin to a spy suspense story but on a domestic manor house front. It is even liken-able to a spin off of the TV series "Upstairs, Downstairs" or "Berkeley Square." Yet Julie Klassen has her own personal style of writing which is so picturesque, you feel like the linseed oil mixed with the oil paints as she brushes in the color on the pages of her canvas. All senses are on alert in a Klassen book. For example, you whiff the aroma when The Maid of Fairbourne Hall dumps a chamber pot that has a clinging residue. See?...It's not all romance.<br /><br />How ironic is Margaret's life, dumping the chamber pot of a man she could have married. She refused the gentleman 2 years earlier, when she was a lady. Of course, Klassen knows she might well be run through with a foil should she not have this heroine find true love by the end of the final chapter. It is, of course, regal Regency romance. Spot on, and steaming up like a pot o' English tea. But it's the journey through 34 historical chapters that makes this as sweetly tasty as hot cross sticky buns. But you never really have time to feel any preliminary predictable love-found conclusion. You constantly wonder if the diminishing family fortune plays a role in love unrequited.Brasilhttp://tearingdownvsbuildingup.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34973391.post-70222424293055659162012-03-06T16:44:49.282+11:002012-03-06T16:44:49.282+11:00I have just started reading "The Maid of Fair...I have just started reading "The Maid of Fairbourne Hall" (Margaret has just arrived at Fairbourne Hall and has just made her first bed).
