Romantic History,
By Sam G "sam-80" (The Valley, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Greek Wedding (Hardcover)
If you like Mary Stewart you will like this book. You get some true history with your romance not a bad combination. The background for this book is The War of Greek Independence that began in 1821 and ranges from Constantinople through the Greek Islands and mainland Greece. With all the European powers playing their hand at which side should win.We journey with Phyllida Vannick as she escapes a harem, tries to locate her missing brother and save a sucidal, jilted English bridegroom. Hey it wouldn't be a romance without it. I don't know how many times I've read this book and I still enjoy it everytime.

A Visit to the War of Greek Independence,
By
This review is from: Greek Wedding (Hardcover)
Phyllida Vannick and her aunt escape from the Sultan and are rescued by a less than enthusiastic Brett Renshaw. Phyl is looking for her brother, who ran away from America to fight with Lord Byron. Brett, who is heartbroken by a ruthless woman back in England, begins to see Phyl in a new light, but she is enamoured with the Greek pirate captain, Alexandros.This is a typical Jane Aiken Hodge romance- filled with historical background, believable characters and a well developed romance. |
