Review:
This book was an absolute delight to read!!
Travel, adventure, suspense, a story of a woman going out on her own, a love story in more ways than one. It made me laugh out loud and made me cry. I could hardly stop turning the pages. It was a wonderful break from every day life and a great period piece.
I second Sandy’s enthusiasm for this delightful book. I read it in one sitting and loved every page.
