- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5A nice easy read.
Interesting sub-plots.
Kept me interested through the story.
Decided on a 3 when it came to between 3 and 4. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Spain - a land of eternal passion and unceasing bloodshed. Fleeing the vengeance of a pitiless tyrant, four nuns find themselves suddenly thrust into a hostile world which they had long ago abandoned for the safety of the convent. Unwittingly, they become pawns in a battle between the charismatic Jaime Miró, leader of the outlawed Basque nationalists, and the ruthless Colonel Ramón Acoca of the Spanish Army.Lucia - the fiery Sicilian beauty who harbors a murderous secret; she wins the heart of Rubio Arzano, a freedom fighter who risks his life to save her.Graciella - whose guilt over one reckless, youthful sin continues to haunt her, even now; Ricardo is the courageous man who loves her.Megan - the orphan seeking perilous refuge in the arms of a defiant Basque rebel; Jaime Miró, himself.Teresa - the believer haunted by a faith that seemingly mocks her with silence; whose own guilty conscience may lead her to commit an unforgivable act.Four women - and the men they are forbidden to love. Leaving innocence but not hope behind, they venture into an alien, dazzling world, where each will encounter an unexpected destiny - and the truth about herself. I really enjoyed this book. It was a quick read for me, and learning about the pasts of each of the women was certainly intriguing. I give this book a definite A!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I enjoyed this, despite the ease with which a few of the nuns gave up their cause for more earthly desires. You get a little taste of the Basque guerilla movement, a little taste of romance, and a big taste of adventure. A fun read.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is set in the Basque rebellion in Spain. Four nuns are forced to flee their convent, each has interesting early lives and this escape changes the future lives of all of them as they go on the run with the charismatic Miro and his group of Basque nationalists - not knowing who to trust. I really enjoyed this book
