Overview
This charming, immersive read āreminds all queer people, now more than ever, we deserve to take up space and matterā (Kosoko Jackson).
Orphaned young and raised with chilly indifference at an all-boys boarding school, BrontĆ« Ellis has grown up stifled by rigid rules and social ānorms,ā forbidden from expressing his gender identity. His beloved novels and period films lend an escape, until a position as a live-in tutor provides him with a chance to leave St. Maryās behind.
Greenwood Manor is the kind of elegant country house Bron has only read about, and amid lavish parties and cricket matches, the Edwards family welcomes him into the household with true warmth. Mr. Edwards and the young Ada, Bronās pupil, accept without question that Bronās gender presentation is not traditionally masculine. Only Darcy, the eldest son, seems uncomfortable with Bronāthe two of them couldnāt be more opposite.
When a tragic fire blazes through the estateās idyllic peace, Bron begins to sense dark secrets smoldering beneath Greenwood Manorās surface. Channeling the heroines of his cherished paperbacks, he begins to sift through the wreckage. Soon, heās not sure what to believe, especially with his increasing attraction to Darcy clouding his vision.
Drawing energy and inspiration from Charlotte Brontƫ, Jane Austen, E.M. Forster, and more while bowing to popular fiction such as Plain Bad Heroines, The Manor House Governess is destined to become a modern classic.
