***** [5/5]
This is the story of Lady Audley and the slow unraveling of her secret by her nephew. Most of the book is told from the vantage of the nephew as he pieces together the clues of what has taken place prior to his uncle's marriage.
This is not an obvious plot in many respects, several aspects of the secret were completely unguessable to the end. If you enjoy mysteries this is a first class choice.

Summer
by Edith Warton
** [2/5]
I really love Warton books typically so this was a disappointing read. It gives an account of one summer of a young lady who meets a fancy architect from the city. She also contends with the fun characters in the small town of North Dormer. In general the book has few surprises and a disappointing outcome.

Wives and Daughters
by Elizabeth Gaskill
*** [3/5]
This book follows the story of a young lady named Molly Gibson over the course of her father's re-marriage. The story details the struggles of the step-mother and the new sister. The woes of engagements, broken promises, and stife in a small hamlet.
On the whole a good read but a bit long ... a Gaskill trait.
