It was going so well - and then turned into this overcomplicated mess where she's having a sexual relationship with a bloke who could have been her dad, but isnt because her parents are really her mother's twin sister and her real dad is trying to kill her, not realising he married Eve, thinking she was Elizabeth.

Would have been much better if it had been a ghost story, where everyone was reincarnated but kept being pulled back into meeting up in each generation until the karmic link is broken (I think there was an episode of Buffy that did this better)

Anyway good whilst it lasted, but not all the way

Adventure in the time of the Crusaders. Khalidah runs away to avoid an unwanted marriage and finds love. Interesting story which includes a lot of the culture of the time.

I found Sand Daughter by Sarah Bryant to be a very disappointing read. Both it’s questionable history and silly love story made this a difficult read to plow through. I did complete it however, mostly because I was stuck on a two hour ferry ride with no other reading material,

Set in the Middle East, this is the story of a daughter of a Bedouin chieftan and a mysterious mother, Khalidah escapes an arranged marriage to her cousin by trusting a strange musician who promises to lead her to safety to her mother’s people. She rides away with him and they fall in love and eventually she finds herself in Afghanistan, a member of a mysterious warrior clan who call themselves the Jinn. Through a long series of adventures, she eventually ends up leading a troop of warriors to fight with Salah ad-Din against the Franks.

I really can’t find any reason to recommend this book which I admit I chose simply for it’s beautiful cover. I guess this shows that the old saying of not judging a book by the cover certainly held true here.
