This review is from: Tregaron's Daughter (Hardcover)

Why is Madeleine Brent out of print???!!! Her books are so much fun to read. I got addicted to her with GOLDEN URCHIN and have loved her ever since. Her first gothic novel TREGARON'S DAUGHTER is highly suspenseful, completely unpredictable and has the stuff of the best film noir if it were made into a movie. Cadi Tregaron's voyages from a small English fishing village to the luxury of the kindly and well to do Morton family in Kent to the romance and mystery of Venice, Italy keep the reader's mind full of lush visuals and presents characters you like and care about. Excellent reading!!!

This review is from: Tregaron's Daughter (Hardcover)

This book is an old, old favorite of mine. I re-read it regularly and once even attempted to write a screen adaptation of it. It would make a superb movie, because it has it all, starting with a terrific heroine: Cadi's strong, beautiful, emotionally complex, and funny, and she has a cool nickname. Plus there are two or three mysteriously attractive yet possibly dangerous leading men; drama and mystery; beautiful settings; period costumes. I'm being a bit flip, but this is really a wonderful book. Entertaining but not mindless. Romantic, but not gushy. This deserves to be reissued.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the GREATEST books I have ever read! A must read!, July 9, 2000

This review is from: Tregaron's Daughter (Hardcover)

This book is a masterpiece. Cadi Tregaron is a true heroine and Madeline Brent is brilliant by creating such a terrfic story that leaves the reader thinking even after finishing the book. The book is a romantic suspense and it is more suspenful than romantic, which is a plus, but the romance that is strung throughtout the book will make your heart flutter and almost make you want to cry. It is not gushy, but rather the ideal way to have or find love. I loved it, I never wanted it to end and I'm sure most people will agree with me that it is a very difficult book to put down.
