Book Review - Masquerade

What an intriguing story! The plot of this book centers around two young women from England - Charlotte Gleason and her maid Dora. Charlotte's parents are in financial straits and decide to marry their daughter to a rich young American who is more interested in their family name than anything else. Charlotte detests this idea, so on the voyage from England to America she decides to switch identities with her maid Dora. What follows is the "tangled web" that deceit always brings.

This was an exceptionally well-written story with interesting twists and turns. I was especially interested to see how Charlotte and Dora would manage to extract themselves from the mess they created. In the end each of the main characters learned that relying on God is much preferable to attempting to manipulate a situation by altering the truth.

Although I received a complimentary copy of this book to review, the opinions expressed are entirely my own.
