Through A Glass Darkly Part 1 Of 2 [Audio Cassette]

Karleen Koen (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: September 1, 1987

Part One Of Two Parts

Set in the upper-class families of 18th century England and France, THROUGH A GLASS DARKLY tells the story of Barbara Alderley, a beautiful and passionate heroine; the grandmother she adores; the mother she despises...and the man she loves.

At 15, Barbara finds herself betrothed to a man 27 years her senior. Marriage propels her into a glittering, cynical society: the casual adulteries and violent politics of the age of Richelieu, Pope and Swift; of buildings by Christopher Wren; of greed, elegance, excess and cruelty. Barbara navigates these dangers with great skill; her beauty takes on polish and sophistication.

This review is from: Through A Glass Darkly Part 1 Of 2 (Audio Cassette)

It seemed to drag in the beginning but it was the author building the characters, which she did an excellent job because I fell in love with them all. I cried so much during this book because the characters seemed so close to me. Just when you think nothing else can happen it does. The ending was a little unexpected but seems to leave the story open for a sequel, Which I hope is written. I couldnt put it down I had eye strain for days from reading so long and crying. An AMAZING book! 5 stars!
