Surrender to a Stranger (2006)
“Although she was grateful to be alive and reunited with her sisters, she knew her stay in England was only temporary, and therefore she had no desire to try to adapt to her new life. However, Sir Edward and Lady Harrington were anxious for her to put her past behind her and consider herself a member of their household, and that meant they wanted her to learn English as quickly as possible. Every morning she was privately tutored for three hours, but her lack of motivation made these sessions ex...cruciatingly slow for both her and her teacher.
She spent her afternoons with Suzanne and Séraphine. Although Suzanne seemed to have come to terms with the news of Antoine’s death, and had forgiven Jacqueline for not telling her the truth, Séraphine’s feelings were a mystery, for the little girl remained distant and silent. Jacqueline decided it was best not to draw attention to Séraphine’s silence, and so she ignored it. She passed the afternoons reading and talking to both girls in French, receiving responses only from Suzanne, but making sure to divide her attention equally between the two of them.MoreLess
