When Aurelie Harcourt's father dies suddenly, he leaves her just two things: his famous
As Aurelie struggles to find a home with her father's family and learn the rules of society, she relishes in his parting gift--the beginning of his last story. The story she always wanted to hear, about her mother's mysterious disappearance from the home where she now lives. To complete the novel, she'll have to extract clues from relatives--and one enigmatic houseguest--who often seem reluctant to give them up.
My Review:
I enjoyed Lady Jayne Disappears. Joanna Davidson Politano's debut reads as though she's been writing historical fiction for years. This story involves mystery, intriuge, and of course romance. But none of it travels a smooth and easy road. Character Aurelie Harcourt is a delightful and resourceful young lady who's been handed a dreadful life. Yet, she's made the best of her difficult situation. When she's thrown into the middle of her wealthy family, the story unfurls and she must work to put the pieces together. I like the thread of the serials told by Nathanial Droll throughout the book. It's like a story inside of another and adds its own layer of mystery. If you enjoy well-written historical fiction, you'll like Lady Jayne Disappears. I received this book free from Revell.
