Cinders & Sapphires by Leila Rasheed

After the success of Downton Abbey, I knew more books like this would be coming out. And I'll read them, even if they aren't the best.

This book has uppity servants and rich people who are lonely.  I do find it a bit odd that there is some interracial love, when I think that was very frowned upon at the time. Add in some homosexuality, too, for some real secretive intrigue. There's a lot thrown into this book and you never really connect with any of the characters, but I couldn't help but keep reading.
