The Girl in the Gatehouse has a definite Jane Austen "feel" to it. Each chapter begins with a quote, and some of Jane's are included. I thoroughly enjoyed this story, eagerly going back to it each evening and staying up into the wee hours of the morning, to find out what happened next. I found myself daydreaming about the secrets a gatehouse can hide, and what life in a gatehouse might have been like. Mariah found herself, despite the secluded life that she might be living, surrounded by wonderful friends and loyal allies. Though the end was wrapped up a bit too neatly for my liking, this was another engrossing story from Julie Klassen.
