Review
The story begins with Briony Duke, the main character, who is nine going on ten. When she loses her parents in a car wreck, she has to be taken care of by her guardian, Mrs. Eyres. Soon after her parent's funeral, she becomes a maid for Mrs. Eyres and her daughter, Lucy. She has to cook, clean, and go to school every day until she turns eighteen. When she meets, Tom Logan, one of the richest men in the country, her life changes. But is Tome someone she could lose to Mrs. Eyres and Lucy? If you know me, then you know that I love my fairy tales, so this was definitely a good read. Although the writing was a bit hard for me to understand at times, it was still an enjoyable read.
