DianneGender: female5 Stars Out Of 5A Book to Stay Up All Night to ReadDecember 18, 2010DianneGender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5'The Girl in the Gatehouse' is a delightful new book by Julie Klassen. It is a fun book, sprinkled with allusions to plots and characters in books by Jane Austen; making it feel more like an old favorite than a new story. One quote, in particular, is one I am sure Jane Austen would wish she had written: '"Miss Aubrey, come and have pity on us. We are reading novels and feel our manliness diminishing by the moment. Come restore our vanity, do, and tell us we look the dashing officers we once were."' Love it!!
The plot and characters are believable and held my attention and interest all the way to the end, even bringing surprises as late as the last page. I kept reading "a little more" and "a little more" and "a little more" until I found I had stayed up, reading, the whole night through. And I was SO glad I did. I loved it! I recommend this book without reservation. If you love a good novel, love Jane Austen, love a good romance with a bit of suspense thrown in, you will enjoy 'The Girl in the Gatehouse' by Julie Klassen. -

RynnAge: 25-34Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5September 17, 2013RynnAge: 25-34Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5This review was written for Girl in the Gatehouse, The - eBook.I enjoyed this book. Although all of the books I have read by Julie Klassen have been good, this has to be one of my two favorites. The characters are believable and it was great to read a book about people looking for God's plan in their lives and the power of love and forgiveness. If you start this book, you won't understand why I love it unless you read it all the way through. I hope you enjoy it a much as I did.

FaithFictionFactandFluffCanadaAge: 25-34Gender: Female5 Stars Out Of 5Good way to spend a Saturday evening...March 24, 2013FaithFictionFactandFluffCanadaAge: 25-34Gender: FemaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5I read this book in an evening, so obviously it kept my interest. I've read quite a few of Julie Klassen's books, and this was probably one of the better ones.
This story was about love, forgiveness and finding beauty through hardships. I was certainly intrigued by the main characters, but I think it was all the secondary characters that really brought the story to life.
All in all, it was worth spending my evening on, but I don't think I'll ever read it again. I would recommend it to fans of Julie's and those who enjoy a "Jane Austen era" novel.
