Only the Beautiful by Susan Meissner
4.5

Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes


Thank you @berkleypub @prhaudio @goodreads for a copy of this book. 

This was a great historical fiction set about Rosie whose parents die tragically and she is taken in by her parents' employer, the Calvert, as a maid. The story is told in Rosie's POV and her life when she becomes the maid. My heart broke for Rosie and I love her determination for a better life. The second part of the story is told in Helen's POV, she is the sister of Henry Calvert who lived overseas and sent letters to Rosie. The story is so well told and I love how the two ladies connected.
