The Flight of Gemma Hardy

I finished this book a couple of weeks ago but forgot to write a post on it. Better late than never!
I really enjoyed this book it was much better than the last one I read. This book was a little bit of everything rolled in to one romance, mystery, suspense. I highly recommend it!

Here is the summary: (source)

A captivating tale, set in Scotland in the early 1960s, that is both an homage to and a modern variation on the enduring classic Jane Eyre.

Fate has not been kind to Gemma Hardy. Orphaned by the age of ten, neglected by a bitter and cruel aunt, sent to a boarding school where she is both servant and student, young Gemma seems destined for a life of hardship and loneliness. Yet her bright spirit burns strong. Fiercely intelligent, singularly determined, Gemma overcomes each challenge and setback, growing stronger and more certain of her path. Now an independent young woman with dreams of the future, she accepts a position as an au pair on the remote and beautiful Orkney Islands.
