I really enjoyed the first half of this book, as the maid comes into her own as a person, and helps her mistress, Elizabeth Barrett, break free of her father's control. The second half is drearier and only gets more dreary, with lots of moves here and there around Europe, and the maid's growing disillusionment and realization that her life isn't living up to her dreams. Ultimately a little depressing.
