The Daughter of Highland Hall A Novel Edwardian Brides Carrie Turansky 9781601424983 Books

This is the second book in this series. The first book is called The Governess of Highland Hall.

Kate is in London for her first season. Her aunt is determined to have it be a success, no matter what Kate has in mind for her life. When a scandal threatens the family's standing, Kate gets to experience what it's like in the poorer parts of town and her priorities begin to shift. She also begins to see the advantage of valuing substance of character over social standing.

Jon is in London to complete his medical training and continue his father's work in India. He also is changed by what he sees in the poorer parts of town and feels that God may be leading him toward work there. But his family expects him to return to India, and he doesn't want to disappoint his father. The more he works with those who need it most, he gains confidence that he should be there. The problem is, Kate is used to a comfortable life. She's out of his league anyway, but he can't help hoping.

It seems like everyone around these two recognize their feelings before they themselves are ready to admit it. They both feel that the relationship would be doomed from the start, but they gain confidence when they are together and their feelings grow. One scandal after another throw a wrench in the works, but they work it out eventually.

William and Julia (book #1) are busy preparing for their wedding and we read a lot from their points of view. You're not lost if you haven't read the first book, there's enough little hints in there, but it's a bonus for those who have read it.

The third book is called A Refuge at Highland Hall and is the story of Kate's sister, Penny. She shows up here and there in this book, and I look forward to reading it.

The Daughter of Highland Hall A Novel Edwardian Brides Carrie Turansky 9781601424983 Books Reviews

This was a great read from beginning to end. I really enjoyed reading about the historical part of London during that time from detailed descriptions of the clothes to the slums and poverty. It was good to read about the Salvation Army and the people who were trying to make a difference. The characters and the plot made it difficult to put the book down until I finished it. It will be hard to wait a year for the sequel. Another great book by Carrie!
I love books that contrast different lifestyles! I love that Julia and William went against "societies" rules for marriage , and even more pleased that Kate and Jon found true love! 💕
I really enjoyed this story. This is my favourite sort of book - one in which God transforms lives and we see wonderful growth in character and purpose. I loved the way Kate changed from being a selfish social climber to a godly young woman who was willing to give her life to the service of others.
The only thing that disappointed me was missing the marriage of William and Julia, but maybe that's coming in the next book?
Can't wait to get that one! Write fast, Carrie!! 😊
What can I say that has not already been said in prior reviews regarding Carrie Turnasky’s captivating story about Kathryn, The Daughter of Highland Hall? How can Ms. Turnasky always be at her best with each novel that she writes? I really adored this book! It has been quite a while since I read the first book in this series, and I had double the fun of re-reading parts of The Governess of Highland Hall – about William and Julia to refresh my mind and it picked up right where this book left off.

It is now April 1912 in London, England and the young teenager Katherine Ramsey is preparing for her presentation before the King and Queen of England, followed by her debut. Where Katherine behaved as a bratty kid in the previous novel, it appears that she and Julia have come to a new understanding of congeniality. Of course, when a woman like Lady Louisa Gatewood, Katherine’s aunt, insists that every well-bred young lady must be made ready for her debut into English society and ready for marriage – frustration sets in with all the curtsy practice involved. Lady Gatewood aided Katherine in creating a list of qualifications for her future husband. He would need to be a man of wealth and title.

Let us refer to Katherine as Kate from here on. Before coming to London from Berkshire, England – a bit of family history. Kate would have inherited Highland Hall, but lost control of her inheritance upon her father’s death. Her second cousin William Ramsey had taken her father’s title as baronet and became the master of Highland Hall as well as her guardian until she married. Highland Hall in Berkshire had been partially destroyed by fire necessitating a move to Ramsey House in London. Much of this story concentrates on Julia Foster and her family. Jonathan Foster, her brother, was a medical student intending to return to India to continue the mission his family had begun. Jon was employed by Dr. Pittsford who had moved his practice to the East End of London, a slum full of danger. Jon lived in William’s home in London. A wedding for William and Julia was in the future. There was already strife between William and his brother David.

A nervous Kate had made a big faux pas at her presentation before royalty. Imagine the uproar from Aunt Louisa! Jon’s shoulder was available for Kate’s commiseration. More trouble abounds when Kate’s lady’s maid learns her unmarried sister Helen is pregnant and in an abusive situation. However at her debut, she met Edward Wellington who met every detail of her list. Could this be her future husband? Edward asked to court her, but was strongly influenced by his parents. Then, emanated the big scandal involving Williams brother David. Edward dropped out of the picture and Jon and Kate began to fall in love.

All of this and more creates a novel reminiscent of Downton Abbey….and I am fond of that series. Ms. Turnasky weaves together fascinating facts, mystery, humor, and faith in God and well developed characters with accurately researched Edwardian etiquette. I am not at all certain how Carrie Turnasky gives such a great pen to her ideas, but I am glad she is an expert doing so. I am in awe of her writing - naturally making it all about God’s answers. If you haven’t read The Governess of Highland Hall, I suggest you do before you read The Daughter of Highland Hall. Both are stand-alone novels – that go together. I am certainly looking forward to the third book, A Refuge at Highland Hall. Might Ms.Turnasky bring war and the wounded into this novel? We won’t know unless we read it!

I was given a complimentary copy of this book by Litfuse Publicity Group for my review.
And I like the characters, I really do. The dialogue is stilted and there are portions that read like the endings of the 70's Batman episodes (or Pigs in Space, take your pick). I am a person deeply committed to my Faith, yet the religious elements of the story often felt forced (not always, though. It was more that sometimes they worked and sometimes they didn't). The storyline between David and William was completely wasted. David remained a plot mechanism and William--head of the house--was only trotted out occasionally. After all that happened in Governess, it was unbelievable that Louisa would have been allowed to behave as she did for as long as she did. And if the prayers are in there (I liked them, actually. Some of the more believable spoken words, actually) then why weren't we at more of the morning family prayers? Surely Kate and Jon weren't skipping them....
