This rather earnest and didactic story will appeal mainly to readers of inspirational novels. The strength of the novel lies in its realistic recognition of the vulnerability of young women in a society with double standards of behavior, one which places power in the hands of men, whether relatives of orphaned children or predatory employers of governesses. Though less spirited than many recent Regency heroines, Julia firmly believes in abiding by society’s rules and doing her duty, and amidst her tribulations, she finds comfort in her faith. A time where ones reputation was easily sullied by something so trivial. 4.0 This story is set in the regency era where propriety and wealth dictate who is well matched to who and society itself is a cruel mistress. Since neither has much money, they cannot afford to wed.
