Review of "Servants' hall" on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

Easy read, but I kind of feel like the title/selling point is misleading. The whole point is that the romance didn't turn out the way one might be inclined to think. Also, it was really just part two of Margaret's memoir, which is fine, because it was interesting, but again, the romance wasn't the main focus of the book, which I feel like was misleading. That's not to say I didn't like it, because I did and it held my interest, I just feel like what I thought I was going to be reading isn't what I got.
