Compelling plot - lots of twists, turns, and interesting characters. ( ) Another reviewer labeled this "light historical fiction" and I have to agree. It was a quick enjoyable read that kept me interested. But it's more of a beach read rather than something that stimulates deep thoughts. There wasn't much in the way of character development and breezes by historical events too quickly. You can read my full review at http://journeythroughthebooks.blogspot.com I absolutely loved this book! Rebecca Dean has quickly become one of my favorite authors, and Palace Circle has become one of my favorite books. I loved everything about this novel; the fact that it was told from the perspective of 5 different characters; the fact that it covers such a huge span of time. I loved the romance, the intrigue, and the high society of it all. It is such an amazing book, and I highly recommend this one. This historical novel had a bit too much soppy romance in it for my taste. I don't know why it seems necessary to refer to women as animals in romance novels and Rebbecca Dean doesn't do it too often but it is still offensive. Delia's daughters are "fiery beauties", as if they were horses. I guess it is too difficult to say they were strong and beautiful women. Delia has "cat eyes" because they were green, yet cats mainly have yellow eyes and what is the point really? Women are people not a "blonde". No wonder Nora Roberts liked this novel. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

HTML:Palace intrigue, romance, and illicit affairsâ??Rebecca Dean has written a glorious novel that will sweep Philippa Gregory fans off their feet. Delia Chandler, an eighteen-year-old Southern girl, marries Viscount Ivor Conisborough just before World War II, becoming part of the Windsor court. Itâ??s every girlâ??s dream come true. But Delia is jolted from her pleasant life when she realizes, after the birth of her two daughters, that Ivor chose her only to bear an heir to his estate. Shortly thereafter, she begins an affair with her husbandâ??s handsome, titled, and frequently scandalous best friend. When Conisborough is appointed as an adviser to King Fuad of Egypt, Delia exchanges one palace circle for another, far different one. While she sees Egypt as a place of exile, her two daughters regard Egypt as their home. Only when war comes to Cairoâ??and Delia finally reveals the secret she has kept for so longâ??can she begin to heal the divisions separating her from those she loves. Rebecca Deanâ??s irresistible combination of real events and masterful storytelling will keep readers fascinated unti Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
