The Inheritance by Louisa May Alcott
Review by Rebekah
This is a captivating story of a young, orphaned woman named Edith who serves as a governess of in the home of a noble family. She was loved and favored by those around her, yet at the same time she was oppressed by the loneliness of her position. Through an engrossing turn of events, she discovers a secret from her past and finds a loyal, compassionate friend. The characters grow as the tale unravels, the plot is cleverly devised, and the story is suspenseful. Highly recommended!
