If you want another Sheldon book full of adventure and romance, then read about four women who escape a convent and find an unexpected destiny and the truth about herself.
Like all of Sydney Sheldon's books, this one is an intense, quickly read thriller. Hard to put down once you start reading, therefore the "quick" part!
Excellent typically Sheldon read...
Excellent example of a "mystery thriller". One of Sheldon's best written books. Highly recommend.
Spain - a land of eternal passion and unceasing bloodshed. Fleeing the vengeance of a pitiless tyrant, four nuns find themselves suddenly thrust into a hostile world which they had long ago abandoned for the safety of the convent. Unwittingly, they become pawns in a battle between the charismatic Jaime Miró, leader of the outlawed Basque nationalists, and the ruthless Colonel Ramón Acoca of the Spanish Army.
Lucia - the fiery Sicilian beauty who harbors a murderous secret; she wins the heart of Rubio Arzano, a freedom fighter who risks his life to save her.
Graciella - whose guilt over one reckless, youthful sin continues to haunt her, even now; Ricardo is the courageous man who loves her.
Megan - the orphan seeking perilous refuge in the arms of a defiant Basque rebel; Jaime Miró, himself.
Teresa - the believer haunted by a faith that seemingly mocks her with silence; whose own guilty conscience may lead her to commit an unforgivable act.
Four women - and the men they are forbidden to love. Leaving innocence but not hope behind, they venture into an alien, dazzling world, where each will encounter an unexpected destiny - and the truth about herself.
I really enjoyed this book. It was a quick read for me, and learning about the pasts of each of the women was certainly intriguing. I give this book a definite A!
