It is one of my favourites and think it will stand the test of time because of the setting.<BR/><BR/>I think the isolation of the characters was soothing and the pace of the romance is so very different from today's books where they meet, jump each other and then live HEA.<BR/><BR/>I find Spencer to be a difficult author to gauge. Her books were hit or miss with me but this one was a definite hit.<BR/><BR/>4/5 means it's not quite a keeper, right?<BR/><BR/>CindySCindyShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18349459903336460467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18884029.post-1157640928522906312006-09-08T00:55:00.000+10:002006-09-08T00:55:00.000+10:00LOL Marg-I went out and bought this book this week...LOL Marg-I went out and bought this book this weekend, before I got sick.~ames~https://www.blogger.com/profile/17683205224039402987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18884029.post-1157586630074413852006-09-07T09:50:00.000+10:002006-09-07T09:50:00.000+10:00I love LaVyrle Spencer!
