This is one of the best and most well-written books I have ever read. Luanne Rice has really done her research for this story. She covers everything from gypsies to 25,000-year-old cave paintings, and gets all her facts straight, which makes for an even more enjoyable read. Basically, this is a love story, set in the Camargue region of France, where the the gypsies from all over Europe converge in Stes. Maries every May to pay homage to their patron saint, Ste. Sarah. The festival includes riders on the famous white horses of the Camargue, which are central to the story. The book information gives a good synopsis of the story, so I won't do that. I just felt so strongly about the beauty and excellence of Rice's work that I wanted to share my feelings and recommend this book as one of the most enjoyable that I've read in a very long time. Order this book! I promise, you won't want it to end.
