The Good Servant: The new sweeping 2022 Royal historical novel from the No.1 bestselling author, perfect for fans of The Crown

A really wonderfully written book! Can't nearly put it down. Absolutely recommendable!

It is a gift and have not listened to the audio yet. So apart from ....prompt delivery ....I cannot say more.

Firstly, never think that Fern Britton writes just for women. All of her books have a universal appeal and, having enjoyed all of her other books I wondered what this new title would be like. She described it as a departure from her normal work and, indeed, we have left Cornwall and its residents behind to focus on London. Royal London to be precise and here we have a fictionalised account of Marion Crawford (Crawfie) as she was known who was the Governess to Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret. We get a highly competent glimpse into life in the Royal household and this tale of one woman's life torn between loyalty to the crown and the love of her life is a real page turner. I was going to try and make this last for several days but I couldn't put it down and finished it in a day and a half.This is a believable, thought provoking, well researched historical novel delivered with all the charm and expertise you would normally associate with Fern's books. A departure indeed but a welcome change and a first class novel. Highly recommended.

I found this an interesting read, so much so I have bought the Little Princesses book, no doubt it will be like a fairy story compared with the sometime sensational media of today’s Royal Family

A very enjoyable book, recommend
