2020-2021 Rainbow Awards Honorable Mention: The Valet
The Valet by Mel Gough
I have to admit, I am generally not drawn to period pieces. Having said that, every now and then I come across a tale that is so wonderfully crafted, that you cannot help but be whisked away into another era and live the life that unfolds within the pages of the story. Gough has achieved time travel with this novella. Despite my initial hesitation, I felt as though I was living in the English countryside at the beginning of the century, and it reminded me of the popular TV series, Downtown Abbey. My only wish was that this had been longer. Well done.
