Synopsis: Simmering with slow-burning menace,  Mrs. England  is a portrait of an Edwardian marriage, an enthralling tale of men and women, power and control, courage, truth and the very darkest deception.  

West Yorkshire, 1904. When recently graduated Ruby May takes a nanny position looking after the children of Charles and Lilian England, a wealthy couple from a powerful dynasty of mill owners, she hopes it will be the fresh start she needs. But as she adapts to life at the isolated Hardcastle House, it becomes clear something is not quite right about the beautiful, mysterious Mrs. England.

Distant and withdrawn, Lilian shows little interest in her children or charming husband and is far from the angel of the house Ruby was expecting.

As the warm, vivacious Charles welcomes Ruby into the family, a series of strange events forces her to question everything she thought she knew. Ostracized by the servants and increasingly uneasy, Ruby must face her own demons in order to prevent history from repeating itself. After all, there's no such thing as the perfect family—she should know. 

This captivating new feminist novel from Sunday Times bestselling author Stacey Halls  is her third work of fiction and proves her one of the most exciting and compelling new storytellers of our time. (Synopsis from Goodreads)

 

My Thoughts: This book intrigued me from the start. The cover caught my eye and the synopsis grabbed my attention. I knew that I had to read it.

I really enjoy these kinds of stories. This story has a lovely, gothic feel to it. There are many secrets in this house, and it was a lot of fun to uncover them. This was a book where I just wanted to keep reading because I needed to know.

I won't say this is a fast paced book, but it does have a slow tension that pulls you in.

I really enjoyed this one. Stacey Halls hooked me.
