Before writing my review of the first book in this series, I read several customer reviews. I think the author did, too because one of the negative comments is addressed in this prequel. The writer of the review knocked the fact that Clara spoke in a somewhat classy manner for her station rather than as a typical servant girl of the times. In this prequel she admits to Mary that her mother had her tutored so she would not be ignorant all her life. (But her mother, the housekeeper, speaks and spoke rather well, too.)
I do, however, have a small quibble with the author. She, as do many writers today, simply uses the word 'alright.' There is 'alright' and 'all right' and there is a difference in meaning. Look them up, people and use the correct one!
This prequel is charming and introduces us to most of the Davenport characters, including a couple of new ones; Abigail, a teenage lass, trying to hide the fact she is Irish (but it might be difficult to continue her character as I have all seven Davenport House books) and gives a little background for Mary's friend Nellie, mentioned in Book #1. There is mother/daughter friction, as well as husband/wife. Mary's brother is a do-nothing mama's boy, just as in Book #1. Some things never change.
Well, it's off to Book #2 (as soon as I find it in my crowded Kindle).
