About the author

Born in 1901, Barbara Cartland started her writing career in journalism and completed her first book, Jigsaw, when she was just 24. An immediate success, it was the start of her journey to becoming the world’s most famous and most read romantic novelist of all time. Inspiring a whole generation of readers around the globe with her exciting tales of adventure, love and intrigue, she became synonymous with the Romance genre. And she still is to this day, having written over 644 romantic fiction books.
As well as romantic novels, she wrote historical biographies, 6 autobiographies, plays, music, poetry and several advice books on life, love, health and cookery – totalling an incredible 723 books in all, with over 1 billion in sales.
Awarded the DBE by Queen Elizabeth II in 1991 in honour of her literary, political and social contributions, she was President of the Hertfordshire branch of the Royal College of Midwives as well as a Dame of Grace of the Order of St John of Jerusalem and Deputy President of the St John Ambulance Brigade.
Always a passionate advocate of woman’s health and beauty, she was dubbed ‘the true Queen of Romance’ by Vogue magazine in her lifetime. Her legend continues today through her wonderfully vivid romantic tales, stories that help you escape from the day to day into the dramatic adventures of strong, beautiful women who battle, often against the odds, eventually to find that love conquers all.

> didn't read this book

Apparently this book skips over books but in the long run I guess you will end up reading them all. They are all alike.

[Margarida Torres · Rating 2 out of 5]

I was going to give this book 3 stars but then I thought better and it only deserves 2 stars from me. I didn't enjoy it that much and it isn't that good.
The beginning and the middle parts of the story were ok but the ending was rushed, unrealistic, disappointing and just bad in general.
All the second characters have the same personality if they have any personality at all.
The main character stayed the same since the beginning until the end. There wasn't any development.

A good, fast read from one of the grande dames of the romance genre. Read this in one day and really liked it.
