Commentary Concering Books The Girl in the Gatehouse

Miss Mariah Aubrey, banished after a scandal, hides herself away in a long-abandoned gatehouse on the far edge of a distant relative's estate. There, she supports herself and her loyal servant the only way she knows how--by writing novels in secret.

Captain Matthew Bryant, returning to England successful and wealthy after the Napoleonic wars, leases an impressive estate from a cash-poor nobleman, determined to show the society beauty who once rejected him what a colossal mistake she made. When he discovers an old gatehouse on the property, he is immediately intrigued by its striking young inhabitant and sets out to uncover her identity, and her past. But the more he learns about her, the more he realizes he must distance himself. Falling in love with an outcast would ruin his well-laid plans.

The old gatehouse holds secrets of its own. Can Mariah and Captain Bryant uncover them before the cunning heir to the estate buries them forever?

Notice Out Of Books The Girl in the Gatehouse

Julie Klassen has done it again. A wonderful story full of intrigue and mystrey and many twits and turns in the plot which, I can assure you, you will not expect! It kept me hooked the whole time and I read far too late into the night to finish it I just had to know what was going to happen! It had more serious themes running through it than the Silent Governess (with talk of mistresses and the heroine herself landed in the Gatehouse due to the loss of her virtue.) However, it was a great story

I'm not sure what took me so long to discover Julie Klassen, but I am loving all of her books. "The Girl in the Gatehouse" was one of the most satisfying books I have read in a long time. The simplicity of the times, the beauty of the setting, the depth of the characters and the mystery of the circumstances weave together to make a magnificent tapestry that compose this book. I love the way Julie presents a situation - young woman wrapped in scandel gets sent away from her family to live alone

I cannot trust my friend to ever give me book suggestions again. If I ever hear her refer or compare this to Austen I shall slap her face with a salmon.

I have loved all of Julie Klassen's books; however, "The Girl in the Gatehouse" is one of my favorites! I liked this one nearly as much as her first book, "The Lady of Milkweed Manor." As a huge Regency and Jane Austen, I loved the parallels between this story and Austen's tales--both through names, characters, and plot similarities. Yet, I enjoyed Klassen's ability to make the story original and her added touches with poorhouse and the Navy. I also loved that the main character, along with

The Girl in the Gatehouse begins with Mariah Aubrey being dismissed from her family home in disgrace. With only her former governess to serve as a companion, Mariah is forced to rely on the generosity of a beloved aunt. Aunt Francesca allows Mariah to live rent free in the estate gatehouse, but she is firm that Mariah is not allowed to venture up to the big house without invitation. This does not seem to disturb Mariah who takes solace in nature walks and writing novels.However, when Francesca

I really liked that there was both aspects of mystery (and multiple minor mysteries at that!) and romance woven through this book. I figured out some things before the characters did, but others were definitely surprising twists! I also really appreciated that many people (especially Dixon and Miss Amy) were pointing Mariah to God's grace and forgiveness, and that she was able to find redemption in Him finally (though I wish that thread had been a bit more of a factor in the book as opposed to

When my mother and father forsake me, then the Lord will take me up.~~Psalm 17:10This verse kept running through my mind as I read Julie Klassens historical novel, The Girl in the Gatehouse. In the story, Mariah Aubrey stumbles into disgrace and, as a result, is harshly rejected by her autocratic father. He banishes his heartbroken daughter from their homewith only a brief good-bye for her mother and sisterand hides her away in a relatives gatehouse. It is there, in a quiet corner of a country
