Waiting on Wednesday

hosted by Breaking the Spine

Wentworth Hall immediately went on my “drooling for” list as soon as I scoped it out on Amazon. I love situations where a group of people in one household are all keeping secrets from each other or something suspenseful is happening. I’m really intrigued with this period in time as well! Plus, any mention of the word “scandalous” in a synopsis and I’m pretty much there *giggle*
Wentworth Hall by Abby Grahame

Eighteen-year-old Maggie Darlington has turned into an entirely different person. The once spirited teen is now passive and reserved. A change Lord and Lady Darlington can’t help but be grateful for.

It’s 1912, and the Darlingtons of Wentworth Hall have more than just the extensive grounds to maintain. As one of Britain’s most elite families, they need to keep up appearances that things are as they have always been…even as their carefully constructed facade rapidly comes undone.

Maggie has a secret. And she’s not the only one…the handsome groom Michael, the beautiful new French nanny Therese, the Darlingtons’ teenage houseguests Teddy and Jessica, and even Maggie’s younger sister Lila are all hiding something. Passion, betrayal, heartache, and whispered declarations of love take place under the Darlingtons’ massive roof. And one of these secrets has the power to ruin the Darlingtons forever.

When scandalous satires start appearing in the newspaper with details that closely mirror the lives of the Darlingtons, everyone is looking over their shoulder, worrying their scandal will be next. Because at Wentworth Hall, nothing stays secret for long.

Coming out on May 1, 2012 from Simon & Schuster Books For Young Readers
