![]() ![]() Coupled with this confusion is that she witnesses atrocities committed against other residents of Wildthorn by a woman named Weeks. ![]() Louisa is terribly confused as to why she is at Wildthorn Hall. She’s confined to a specific gallery where no one believes her about her name. There, Louisa is told that her name is Lucy Cousins. Unfortunately, what Louisa has assumed to be the Woodville estate is actually Wildthorn Hall, an insane asylum for women. After exiting the train, she comes across a grand house with huge grounds. She’s a bit leary of her traveling companion, but figures that she’ll be fine once she gets to the Woodville estate. Louisa Cosgrove is taking the train to be a governess for the Woodville family. It’s not a coming out book! I was so into this book, it was so different from the other books on my pile and I have to admit, I love the variety. This is a smart, well-written historical fiction young adult book that features a main character who happens to be a lesbian. It turns out, I was really missing out by not reading Wildthorn by Jane Eagland. I think most normal bloggers take review copies that have been on their pile that long and cull them because if you aren’t interested enough to read the book within four years of receiving it, what’s the point? However, I have this enormous guilt complex and because it’s from my very first BEA, I made myself FINALLY read the book over the course of two days. ![]() I am very embarrassed to admit that an ARC of Wildthorn has been sitting in my house unread since 2010. ![]()
