Marion Crawford, an ordinary but determined young woman, is given a chance to work at the big house as governess to two children, Lilibet and Margaret Rose.
Windsor Castle, 1936
As dramatic events sweep through the country and change all their lives in an extraordinary way, Marion loyally devotes herself to the family. But when love enters her life, she is faced with an unthinkable choice…
This book was fab, I thoroughly enjoyed this. Marion Crawford, Crawfie, was Queen Elizabeth II and Princess Margaret's governess. Britton crafted an excellent and credible narrative for Marion and her sacrifices made for the royal family, ie she postponed her marriage several times (10 years in total) out of love for the two princesses in her care. The choice to sell her story after her retirement was unfortunate and brought her only grief. The Marion in this book was a loveable woman, who was influenced by a no good alcoholic husband.
Read for the Shelf Reflection Reading Challenge.
Prompt 37: A book related to the royal family.
