bed reduction in Italian published by Novels Gold Mondadori n. 76 - June 2009 - Trad Rita Botting. Warning: spoilers.
not think that in this novel the subject of mental illness has been treated with skill and sensitivity that we found in Laura Kinsale and its the Storm. Again, the main character, Lady Meriel Grahame, not mad, though: he suffered an injury at the age of four years and has been locked in his private world where they feel protected. His parents had been killed in India during an attack by bandits and she had been abducted and had escaped by a miracle to a painful end.
finding by two uncles had been brought into the family home in England, where she had been to live a surreal existence bit 'wild, in contact with the nature of the park like a fairy tale creature, not to mention and giving little nods of understanding the "normal" world around her.
Two elderly widows distant cousins \u200b\u200band an Indian are the guardians of loving Meriel, which now has twenty-three and, despite the appearance of evanescent, is a wonderful girl. One of the two uncles wants to confine in a mental hospital, while the other thinks of giving it to save all'errede wife of the Earl of Wrexham, Kyle Maxwell Lord. The latter is painfully accompanying her mature lover English Consancia to die at home and thinks that the only solution to premarital not miss the opportunity of the invitation at the home of Lady Meriel is proposing to his twin brother Dominic to replace him for a few weeks.
For Kyle, who has a broken heart, marriage with a young heiress apparently out of the world is an ideal solution: she is rich and will not claim anything involving him, which will allow him to preserve in the heart ' Consancia love.
between Dominic and his twin brother Kyle Renbourn relations were damaged years ago. Kyle is the eldest and has an attitude that reflects the duties that await him, Dominic has struggled to find their own way, has returned from Waterloo and lives with the poor performance without excess of a younger son, but free. His dream is to cultivate the land and build a family and accepts the request for Kyle uncomfortable because they offered him in exchange for ownership of an estate that Dominic has always wanted. Kyle can pretend to be the only externally, because its more sensitive and open easily puts him in contact with the eccentric, creative and animalistic Meriel. The two means and attract almost immediately. The fact that both are beautiful and does not hurt that she is very passionate and unconventional, but nothing crazy, it helps to channel the story to track very romantic. Eventually, the Meriel will be wiser than those of all his behavior over the top will give a touch of enigmatic, but fascinating.
In fact, the plot falls soon, in my opinion, the banal, with the usual bad guy, greedy and murderess who is vanquished at the last minute.
The characters are not interesting and are treated briefly and superficially. It 'a caricature of an old-fashioned romance, but unfortunately does not have the imagination and is quite boring.
I had to remind me that Mary Jo Putney is not my thing. Now I note.
