Summary: Enchanted by Menfreya
Comment: I find myself agreeing completely with Amanda Miller's review; this was an intriguing book. I also did not want to put it down! From the time the story opened, narrated by 13 year old runaway Harriette Delvaney, to the time of its conclusion, the author sweeps the reader into another time & place, with a sparkling visual of the Cornish coast, the sounds of everyday living in a time removed from our own. The author allows the characters, in their own words & dialect, eloquently explain their Cornish culture & history. There is an awareness of the small details of everyday life that contribute to the atmosphere of the book. There is suspense & intrigue; the reader is not ever sure (at least this reader was not) who to trust. The exploration of the Menfreya mansion, the history & lore of the Menfrey family, the wonderful sense of time and place, and the honesty and growth of the characters add up to an enchanting read. I particularly like the devise the author uses to let the reader see the characters through other characters eyes. The way the author uses this technique definetely contributes the the reader's understanding of the narrator's character.

Summary: This was an intriguing book! I could not put it down!
Comment: I loved the entire book from the setting to the plot. Once I started reading this novel I literally could not put it down. The book had very interesting and developed characters. It is a romance and me, being a hopless romantic, found this book utterly satisfying. It also kept me in suspense. Was Bevil faithful of not? I would reccomend this book to any one who needs a little romance in their life or anyone who needs to hear a good story.
