Carnegie's Maid by Marie BenedictMy rating: 0 of 5 stars
Lovely audiobook, complete with Irish accents. Clara Kelly is forced to travel to America to raise money for her family after the potato famine. She's surprised when a man asks for her by name--turns out there was another Clara Kelly on the boat, but Clara doesn't want to look a gift horse in the mouth. She gladly takes the free ride to Pittsburgh, and learns quickly to act like she has experience as a lady's maid. Over the next few years, she grows close to Andrew Carnegie, her lady's son, and, of course, she helps him with business and instills a sense of philanthropy in him.
I do love how the author created a plausible fictional account of why Carnegie created all those libraries.
The audio production was clean, except for one clipped word introducing the number of the chapter.
