Description

Godmersham Park is a captivating novel by Gill Hornby, the acclaimed author of Miss Austen. On 21 January 1804, Anne Sharpe arrives at Godmersham Park in Kent to take up the position of governess, with no previous experience of teaching or fine country houses. Her arrival is met with novelty and excitement, as she forms an immediate attachment to Jane, the family's young daughter. As Anne navigates her new role, she must balance her position between the 'upstairs' and 'downstairs' members of the household, a delicate diplomatic chess game. Her relationships with Jane and the rest of the family are complex and multifaceted, revealing a clever and charming young woman beyond her pretty and charming exterior. Meanwhile, Henry, Jane's brother, begins to take an unusual interest in the governess, setting the stage for a story of unexpected connections and consequences. With its engaging characters, nuanced relationships, and insight into the lives of those 'invisible' older women, Godmersham Park is a compelling and moving novel that will keep you immersed in its world from the first page.
