De verdad que la prima es la que merece una bofetada durante todo el libro. Y a ella por dejarse hacer y deshacer, por confiar en una víbora como esa.

A bit old-fashioned in writing and story style. I liked reading more about members of the Dilhorne family, having read the earlier books in the series, but this story itself wasn't my fav. I didn't mind the change in setting to USA, and the story started off quite well. But Sophie, the nasty bee-arch who was out for revenge, was a bit too nasty for my taste, and it all got a bit too angsty for me, before the eventual HEA. I admit I did a bit of skimming in the second half of the book. Not a horrible read, but not that great either.

Una trama ubicada en la Guerra civil estadounidense, la cual es abordada a grandes rasgos, y que permite apreciar el paso del tiempo y las diversas situaciones por las que pasan los personajes.
