At first it was a 3 star, but after a good discussion with the book club, I have to move it up to 3.5 star purely for the ability to discuss the book. Books are good for different reasons, but this one had some good intrigue, people to love, people to hate, a couple of twists (some were obvious, some not, but still pretty good). And I really enjoyed the switch between modern times and the historical story. Usually I don't, thinking someone should just write a straight story, but this one worked for me, especially how it all related. Quick recap- an English manager of maids gets hired by a man who is building a prestigious apartment complex in the 50's. There are entanglements and shockers, that ultimately effect a young girl out of rehab in the 80's or 90's (I can't remember). Hopefully that didn't give away too much.
