Good Read, Drawn out in Places
The tale of two men, one upper class and wealthy, the other his valet who is used in a nefarious scheme leading to the exile of one and the ruin of the lives of the valet and his daughter. The opportunity presents itself for the valet to assume the persona of his nemesis by murdering him. The story involves love for the two daughters by gentlemen who help the girls cope with pain brought on by each believing the other's father to be her own.
Well written but with an excess of explanation and musings of the narrator. Not as entertaining as her other novels, but worth reading.
