Wings of the Falcon wasn't the typical romantic suspense that I expect from Barbara Michaels. Instead it was a well-written historical novel with a scoop of romance. With an English main lady (and her practical traveling companion), the reader can discover the culture of Italy before its unification. It easily kept my attention and I rooted for the dashing Falcon to win the day. Light and fun, this book is perfect for vacation reading. ( ) This is an interesting period piece. I guess it ought to be categorized as historical romance; it takes place in Italy in 1860, as Garibaldi and Victor Emmanuel are attempting to unify the country and divest the Pope of his temporal authority. If you define romance solely as sexual tension between two characters this may not be for you, but if it's defined more broadly as great events sweeping people in front of them inexorably, it's pretty good. Made me want to learn more about that period in Italian history, that's for sure. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
The death of her English father left Francesca alone and unprotected, with nowhere to turn but to the noble Italian family of her late mother. Adrift in a strange land, surrounded by cold and suspicious relatives who had disowned her mother on her wedding day, Francesca is determined to make the best of a bad situation. But nothing could have prepared her for the nest of dark secrets and oppressive cruelty she has been cast into. And her fate now rests in the hands of a mysterious horseman known as the Falcon, whose appearance will speed her salvation ... or hasten her doom. Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |
