Downton Abbey meets The Selection in this dystopian tale of love and betrayal

In a fragmented future United States ruled by the lavish gentry, seventeen-year-old Madeline Landry dreams of going to the university. Unfortunately, gentry decorum and her domineering father won't allow that. Madeline must marry, like a good Landry woman, and run the family estate. But her world is turned upside down when she discovers the devastating consequences her lifestyle is having on those less fortunate. As Madeline begins to question everything she has ever learned, she finds herself increasingly drawn to handsome, beguiling David Dana. Soon, rumors of war and rebellion start to spread, and Madeline finds herself and David at the center of it all. Ultimately, she must make a choice between duty - her family and the estate she loves dearly - and desire.

Critique Containing Books Landry Park (Landry Park #1)

I keep reading the title as Laundry Park.

I dont know why, but I felt this world from Madeline's POV wasn't...bad enough. Madeline is a gentry lady. She is respected and is in a high position in society. She has a beautiful estate and food to eat. She has free will and is self-independant. But, lets come back to the point that she is a gentry lady.Why am I highlighting this point? In a world where the Rootless are beaten and killed, just for stealing a small loaf of bread, Madeline lives in total comfort and luxury. Although yes,

Yeah, this book rocks

(Source: I own a copy of this book.)This was a different kind of dystopian story, with some interesting science thrown in.Madeline was an interesting character, and I did feel for her with her insistence that she wanted to go to university rather than to get married. It was an awful situation for her to be in, and her fathers insistence that he would force her to do as she was told and produce an heir was pretty bad.The storyline in this was quite interesting, with issues about nuclear power and

I received this ARC from Penguin Publishers in exchange for an honest review. I award this book four stars.Landry Park by Bethany Hagen is touted as a combination of Downton Abbey and The Selection, which is pretty accurate. We meet Madeline in the first few pages of the book, and she is part of the gentry in the dystopian United States who rule over the Rootless, who live a horrible existence and have a short life span due to working with radiation all the time. She's different from the others

Dear readers, it's no secret that I'm a huge "Downton Abbey" fan. So when I heard "Downton". dystopia, and post-American future? I got very excited. I started dreaming up expectations. And I can happily say that these expectations were mostly met with this debut novel. However, I can also say that "The Selection" comparison? Not really relevant here. I think that Penguin was kind of trying to find something to make a pitch to the audience with (X meets Y in this Z tale!, etc). Hagen's tale has

What a pleasant surprise! I didn't realise I'd added Landry Park to my mental list entitled "just another dystopia" until it managed to completely prove me wrong. My first thought after finishing this book is that it's probably more suited to fans of historical fiction than the typical dystopia. The style of writing, the plot, the characters and the setting all feel like something straight out of an historical novel. If you ask me, it worked very well. The story starts as I might have expected.
