ABOUT "THE WANDERESS"

"She was free in her wildness. She was a wanderess, a drop of free water. She belonged to no man and to no city." -Roman Payne, "The Wanderess"

------

A gothic mystery novel and story of passion and romance set against the backdrop of a timeless Mediterranean landscape, The Wanderess tells of the notorious adventurer Saul and his passion for the beautiful Saskia, a mysterious young orphan girl whom he meets and vows to protect as his child.

When Saul's pursuit of pleasure and fortune gets tangled with the quest of this "Wanderess" for her long-lost friend and her own fortune, the two find themselves on a picaresque path that leads them through Spain, France, Italy and beyond; their adventures weaving them deeper and deeper into a web of jealous passion, intrigue, betrayal, and finally, murder.

The Wanderess is a love story, a novel of heroism, friendship and romance, portraying the lives of two unsettled vagabonds led by their own strange desires, mutual obsessions, and one single fortune.

Reviews:

"The master of writing quotes is also a master novelist!!! ...I first discovered Roman Payne through his beautiful quote from The Wanderess: "She was fre in her wildness. She was a wanderess, a drop of free water. She belonged to no man an to no city." So I had to buy the book. What a surprise! It is a treasure! Payne is a really brilliant writer, I can't wait to read his other books."


"Roman Payne has written a Byzantine novel reminiscent of "The Grand Budapest Hotel". It spans time, yet seems timeless. His prose is literate and jewel-like- of another, older century, It's great escapism; I won't say more for fear of being a spoiler. Go ahead and 'suspend your disbelief'!"
