A Stranger at Fellsworth by Sarah E. Ladd

An intriguing plot with lots of mystery and the quick pace kept my attention throughout the story.  I thoroughly enjoyed the conversations between the characters in this book. The unique phrases and terminology of the era made this a fun read as well.  I like the main character Annabelle.  She's had a lot of hard knocks in her life but she's determined to live a good life even if that life is vastly different from what her family or society deems appropriate.  She's not feisty but she's brave.  There's interesting exchanges and "chance" meetings between characters that will keep you guessing till the end of the book.  It was a very enjoyable read about lords and ladies and the common folk too.  Lots of detail given so that you feel like you are back in that time period.  Believable characters with believable lives yet never a dull moment in the tale.  Not a trite tale but rather a meaningful look into forgiveness, living out one's faith and acting upon what God prompts your heart to do.
