Ruby May graduated from Norland Institute, a nursing school in London, to take her first position as a nursemaid to an infant. The perfect read for a rainy evening, Mrs. England is a compelling, well-written slow-burn mystery that invites the reader to immerse themselves into a different time, place, and a group of characters whose secrets will soon have the reader second-guessing what's going on. When the twists are revealed, they suited the story well, and while they didn't come as a surprise to this reader, I definitely enjoyed the journey. This was my first book by Stacey Halls, but it will not be my last.

Non è un libro con una tensione evidente, né ha un ritmo aggressivo: piuttosto, c'è una trama pervasa da un'inquietudine strisciante, che cresce sino a divenire densa, come la nebbia dei boschi e della campagna circostante. E si procede, sempre più curiosi. The scene then shifts to another assignment, with Ruby moving to rural Yorkshire to nurse the four children of the eponymous Mrs England. She appears as a weak and withdrawn lady, having delegated decisions about family life to her husband, the manager of a cotton mill. As Autumn progresses and days grow shorter and colder, the unsettling family atmosphere darkens, with strange events taking place in the woods and villages that neighbour the England family residence. and when the eventual film adaptation comes i want keeley hawes as mrs england, morgan spector as mr england (i cannot find it in myself to care that he’s american), and millie bobby brown as nurse may. i did not picture anyone else but them when reading this or hear anyone else’s voices but theirs. i’m no casting director, but the roles are theirs.

Mrs England: The award-winning Sunday Times bestseller from

Her first position did not last long because she couldn't leave England for America with this family. The school found her another position at the remote Hardcastle House taking care of the four children of Mr. and Mrs. England. I've read all of Stacey Halls' books, beginning with The Familiars in 2019 and The Foundling in 2020, both of which were 5 star reads. You can understand why Mrs England was high on my watch list, and I'm thrilled to report it was also a 5 star reading experience. This makes Stacey Halls an automatic must-read author for me and I can't wait to find out what what she's working on next. This was highly enjoyable from start to finish. I am always drawn to stories involving nannies and the children they care for. This novel included everything I love in a historical mystery. It carried a constant air of foreboding tension and suspense. The pace and flow kept me fully engaged and invested. The atmosphere was palpable and had me consumed and engrossed. I loved the family estate and forested lands that surrounded it - the author did a phenomenal job making the setting part of the intensity of the story. The characters were fantastic! I was curious and had my suspicions about each of them. I especially loved Ruby who I connected with immediately. Having said all of that there is a real twist in the last sentence which makes the reader re-evaluate the whole of the book. Mrs England, starts as an unwelcoming, distant and unloving character even to her own children. Not wanting to spoil for people who haven’t read the book. You will want to follow her story.Egyszerűen lenyűgöző. Vészjósló, csodálatosan megírt és kitűnő, hátborzongató Edward-kori történet.” – Daily Mail Dopo che la precedente famiglia decide di trasferirsi in America, Ruby si trasferisce a sua volta dalla Londra di inizio novecento alla sperduta brughiera dello Yorkshire. The novel might be called Mrs England, and she is the enigmatic character of the house, but the story centres around Ruby May who works as Norland nanny. She decides not to move abroad with the family she works for and so finds employment with the MrsEngland of the title. Well, THAT turned out to be interesting.... Mrs England is the third book from historical fiction writer Stacey Halls. I read and love both The Familiars and The Foundling, so this was an incredibly anticipated release for me. The story follows Nurse Ruby May a graduate of the Norland Institute. When she is forced to leave her position she knows she needs to find another as soon as possible. When the opportunity comes up to be a nurse to the four England children, Ruby takes the position immediately. When she arrives in Yorkshire she soon finds things aren’t right with the family. Mrs England is detached and mysterious, and the servants won’t talk to her. As Ruby spends more time with the family, she uncovers more than she could possibly imagine.
