От издателя
A New York Times–bestselling author brings World War I–era England to vibrant life in this romantic saga in which destiny turns a lady's maid into a lady.
It is spring of 1915. Spoiled twenty-one-year-old Clemency Jervis and her Fifth Avenue entourage board the Lusitania, bound for England, where Clemency is to marry the dashing Lord Hugo Hazzard of Loburn. A few miles off the Irish coast, the ship is torpedoed by the Germans. One of the few survivors is Clemency's maid, Hetty Brown, a young woman who resembles her mistress. Surprised to be taken for Clemency, Hetty carries out a daring deception that makes her a nobleman's wife and the mistress of a magnificent country estate, despite doubts about her among some in her aristocratic new set.
Suspenseful, surprising, and heartwarming, The American Heiress is a tale of love, war, and the far-reaching, often-unexpected consequences of our actions.

Good but not great
This book is very entertaining and you certainly won’t want to quit it. The plot is quite unique and absorbing, although the characters are not the most lifelike or likeable. It’s not a masterpiece but it’s a fun read.
A fun, quick read.
About 2/3 of the way through this book my interest kind of waned a bit.. but all in all it’s a good book and a good way to escape for a few hours. Plausible story premise, obvioulsy they didn’t have DNA testing and such back then!
