Janna RyanNorth Platte, NEAge: 35-44Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5I love Julie's styleJanuary 28, 2011Janna RyanNorth Platte, NEAge: 35-44Gender: femaleI'm not sure what took me so long to discover Julie Klassen, but I am loving all of her books. "The Girl in the Gatehouse" was one of the most satisfying books I have read in a long time. The simplicity of the times, the beauty of the setting, the depth of the characters and the mystery of the circumstances weave together to make a magnificent tapestry that compose this book. I love the way Julie presents a situation - young woman wrapped in scandel gets sent away from her family to live alone with her former nanny - and then Julie starts to reveal bits of the details a little bit at a time. Slowly but surely the full picture comes into view and by then you love the characters so much that you want to give them the benefit of the doubt. This book was a pleasure to read and I loved it!

KimberlyAge: 25-34Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5January 7, 2011KimberlyAge: 25-34Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5The Girl in the Gatehouse has a definite Jane Austen "feel" to it. Each chapter begins with a quote, and some of Jane's are included. I thoroughly enjoyed this story, eagerly going back to it each evening and staying up into the wee hours of the morning, to find out what happened next. I found myself daydreaming about the secrets a gatehouse can hide, and what life in a gatehouse might have been like. Mariah found herself, despite the secluded life that she might be living, surrounded by wonderful friends and loyal allies. Though the end was wrapped up a bit too neatly for my liking, this was another engrossing story from Julie Klassen.

MEKA5 Stars Out Of 5Excellent!!!January 1, 2011MEKAQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5As per usual, Julie Klassen's new novel, The Girl in the Gatehouse, is the creme de la creme of this genre!!! I invariably find myself trying to read slower, only to delay the completion of the book!!!! The quotation at the beginning of chapter 12 suggests this book will live a life equivalent to that of the giant tortoise: "A novel must be exceptionally good to live as long as the average cat." -Lord Chesterfield.
Excellent! I trust Miss Klassen is fast at work on her next treasure!!!!! Pssst! Christy Award, Christy Award!!!!!
