Kristina O'Donnelly portraits a challanging love between a Turkish Archeology Professor and American Librarian sharing the love of ancient Troy and its legacy in the exotic context of Turkey. The context and unfolding mysterious events totally capture the interest of the reader. Trojan Enchantment also gives valuable insights with regards to Troy. Trojan Enchantment makes you feel the mystery that covers Troy and its legacy.

If you want to read beautiful love story with historical backgrounds, you should read it. Kristina O'Donnelly's characters in the book reflect the both (Turkish and American) cultural side so right. Everything perfectly connected with each other. I also enjoyed reading her smooth English.

Lighter than Kristina O'Donnelly's other novels in her series, Lands of the Morning,TROJAN ENCHANTMENT is about love between opposites, in character and upbringing, as it involves a Turkish professor of archaeology, and an American librarian who is an expert on Troy. But also, it is a terrific travelogue, giving us the reader the sights, scents and scenes of exotic Turkey. As an added bonus, there is a lot of good, updated information about Troy, its past and its present, in Canakkale (Gallipoli) in Turkey.
Recommended for those who love travel on the cheap, right in their armchair, at home.
