The Tower of the Winds

by Elizabeth Hunter

When her sister died, Charity was determined to take care of her baby son -- but the child's uncle, the masterful Greek Loukos Papandreous, was equally determined that the baby was going to remain in Greece -- with him.

How could Charity cope with this man who insisted that, as she was a woman, her opinions were of no account -- yet who made her more and more glad she was a woman?

c1974. Look what I found at the back of a cupboard. I remember reading these novels years and years ago when the world was a different place. I recall a lot of Ms Hunter's books because they normally involved a man from a different country/culture and I managed to pick up a lot of mild swear words in foreign languages from Ms Hunter. I did not realise that she had lived in both Kenya and South Africa but a few of her books were based in Africa if I recall correctly. Loved them and would classify these as 'sick-bed' books.

Charity our heroine is quite a contradiction. On the one hand, she is as suggestible as an empty headed dimwit. The H Could convince her that the world was flat, and all of her knowledge to the contrary would not keep her from believing him. Her fiancé is a nasty piece of work. She knows this but it won’t stop here from marrying her. He even admits the only reason he would stay with her is because there is a possibility of getting money out of her family. That’s OK with her. Wow. and now I am at a loss for words.

The majority of this book was a travelogue to the ancient sites in and around Athens. I just read a Mary Stewart book recently that covered Delphi pretty thoroughly so I wasn't thrilled with that aspect.

Deux étoiles, car comme toujours dans les vieilles éditions l'héroine se retrouve coincée dans un pays étranger et elle se laisse faire, accepte un peu tout; même épouser un presque parfait inconnu ....
Jamais elle ne se rebelle contre l'autorité masculine.... GGGRRRRRR
J'ai par contre détesté, eu en horreur.... le moment où elle dit au héros qu'elle aurait dû rester à la maison et repriser sa chemise.......
Sinon j'ai beaucoup aimé l'histoire ne concernant que le héros et l'hérooine.

I can't remember when I read this, but my guess would be maybe 17 years ago, but I do remember that I really liked it.
So that's why the 4 stars.
