An exciting look at England during Cromwell's reign and after the triumphant return of Charles II. We are introduced to the adult Arabella, to Carlton, and to the irrepressible Harriet whose lives all continue in "The Love Child," "Song of the Siren," and "Will You Love Me In September." There is a little bit of everything in "Lament for A Lost Lover" - history, romance, and mystery. The reader can connect with the characters, share in the intrigue, feel their pain and rejoice at their happiness. The characters become friends who you will want to visit again and again. It is a book that can be enjoyed by itself or as part of the series that began with "Miracle at St. Bruno's."

I am currently reading the entire Daughters of England series from Phillipa Carr. This book is like the others a necessary piece. The series follows a long family line throughout the political and personal struggles they experience. Each book entrances me , I find them hard to put down. I am WAITING for the next shipment to arrive......

this is a beautifully written story. it takes place in france,then england late 1650's. it is about the loves
and lives of two women(harriet and arabella) and how both of their' lives are intertwined through good/bad,
birth/death,lies and infidelity. there are many characters in the book and they seem believable. i do not want
to give away the plot details but,what goes on the book is very "soap opera-esqe". this is a page turner. nice work.

This is Arabella's story, and I think I enjoyed it only a little less than that of Bersaba and Angelet. (I like to hear two sides of a story.) I found Arabella a little dull, but I liked Harriet. :) Arabella seemed to lack the fire of her mother, Bersaba. All in all, this was a good book, but I figured out the ending wayy before I was finished.
