As Arabella Darracott left England to join her guardian in Australia, she recalled a gypsy fortune-teller telling her of a purple-blossomed tree, a far-off shore and the devil of a man who awaited her there.
The Best Romances Are More Than What They Seem to Be
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
What is so astounding about this novel is that it is more than a belly tickling love story with jaw-dropping scenes of passion. It is actually loaded with Biblical references, and filled with important symbolism. In fact, this story is such a spectacular myth that it deserves a great deal of afterthought once the book is finished. It has all of the plot elements which are so important to an engaging, page-turning romance. But then it goes beyond all of that, and invites itself to be examined more closely even after you've finished it and put it on the bedside table, smiling at the joy of reaching such a happy ending to such a nice story.
