The Reliable Wife

I just got through reading this book and it was quite a surprise. I bought it weeks ago and have been moving it to the bottom of the reading pile until there was no more pile and this was all I had left to read. This is a great book. The author had written a story of his life before and in the process of doing so came up with the plot for this story. It all begins with an ad put in the paper for a reliable wife. The story is set in the early 1900s and has quite a few plot twists. The summary of the book on back doesn't even begin to do it justice. I think it's vague because it's hard to talk about this book and not give something away. It's sorta like Sarah Plain and Tall, but with a little more fuel to it.
