Davenport House
Davenport House | Marie Silk
1 post | 4 to read
Davenport House is the first book in a family saga that follows the wealthy Davenport family and their servants in 1915 America. Mary Davenport is a 22-year-old idealist who worries that the world in the Progressive Era is leaving her behind. She lives isolated in the Pennsylvania countryside with her affluent and secretive family. When her father dies suddenly, Mary becomes pained with grief and increasingly suspicious of those around her. A humble servant girl has the chance of a lifetime to become a lady's companion. Costly dresses, exquisite rooms, and fine dinners are pleasant distractions from what is really happening in the house.

Couldn't finish it. Bad dialogue, rushed writing, and meh characters. I've read some poorly written stuff before because I liked the characters or wanted to know what happened but I don't care about any of that with this. Too bad, the synopsis and cover seemed interesting.
