"she rose because the day was there, the world was there, and she wanted to be part it."

Now Nina will shine and prove her cousin that she is not idiot that they can toy with. And I hope Hector suffers a little for the pain he cause her.

"You are mistress of the river, Nina Beaulieu."
"You can borrow it once in a while if you like", she said. Nina glanced up at him, resting a palm against his chest, her fingers on the buttons of his coat."

Nina can enchant almost every one. And I am enjoy this friendship between these two. With time Hector will see that Valérie is such a beauthiful face with a embittered heart.

"He wondered if he could expect the same if he married Nina, this clear separation, this gap to lie between them. Did it matter? He did not seek love in her arms"

I´m conflicted with Hector. I love that is willing to teach Nina his art. But I hate that he may hurt Nina´s heart. Nina maybe is a naive girl but she so sweet.

"There are plenty of shining examples in the world that demonstrate love need not be a condition of a sucessful marrige. You migh agree on this point"

I already hooked. Valérie remind me of Lady Susan. And I love every novel that looks like an Jane Austen book.

Unlike most of the readers I didnt like that much "Mexican Gotic", but I did loved "Gods of Jade and Shadow". So I want to give other try a Silvia Moreno Gracia. I enjoy her writing style and I think that this book maybe work for me.
