Reviewer: mikezane - 11/25/2008 22:22Subject: Very exciting book A gently raised young lady of 18 escapes from her Turkish home during a Masque Ball and meets a dashing young adventurer (perhaps a Jones wannabe?) from America who decides that he adores her beauty from first moment, tho she is dressed in traditional Turkish head−to−toe garb and he can only see the sparkle in her eyes. She, although half French, has been raised in the sequestered confines of her home. She had always expected to marry only for love, yet her father gives her away to an older man to settle a score. He had accepted that she was lost to him, until he learns a startling secret about her past that makes him risk all in saving this young beautiful woman. An absorbing story that I enjoyed very much. The reader also did a very nice job. |
